Breitling’s New Chronomat Watches Track 40 Years of Innovation

Breitling has always been ahead of its time. Since its founding in 1884, the Swiss watchmaker has set the standard for style and innovation, and its latest additions to the Chronomat collection reiterate Breitling’s expertise.

The Chronomat story began in 1984. Introduced upon Breitling’s centenary, the watch was first created for Italy’s national aerobatics team, which sought a timepiece that could withstand the cockpit but was elegant enough to be worn off-duty.
