Breitling The History of Chronomat

The history of the chronomat designed by Breitling is quite rich. When the company controlled by Willy Breitling was bought by Ernest Schneider, it began rebirthing. At that time in 1979 it was on the edge of bankruptcy. Later in 1984 Ernest Schneider looked forward to release the company's mechanical watch. By that time the company produced mainly quartz watches and the mechanical watch marked 100 years anniversary.

Breitling consulted the Italian aerobatic team called Frecce Tricolori. The result of this collaboration was a chronograph that had some specific details on its case. The profile of the watch was flat and the designer also but the bend in the lug end of the bracelet.

The name of the watch also has its history. When Breitling was bought, Ernest purchased along with it its registered trademarks. That is how an old name of Breiling's watch was reborn along with the timepiece. The watch, however, did not follow its predecessor's design. The timepiece has many similarities with the Navimeter Montbrilliant.

The watch seems quite heavy when held in the hand but if you put it on your wrist you will find out that it is very comfortable and you won't feel its weight. A nice feeling comes from the fact that the edges of the watch are rounded and not sharp so you won't feel any discomfort wearing it.

The Chronomat has a well-known movement called Valjoux 7750. In 1997 the company acquired Kelek and since then introduced its movements into its timepieces. After this purchase the rumors concerning mechanical problems of the brand's watches faded out.

Some other aspect of Chronomat's case is the screw-down crown. The design of the pushers is rounded and ridged. This feature keeps the pushers unnoticed at the side of the watch. The crown is protected from both sides. The case is made of stainless steel and the watch's bezel screws, pushers and crown are made of 18 karat rose gold.

The hand of the Chronomat changed as time passed and today these are made of blue metal. The new hands of the Chronomat have the "B" script that stands for Breitling. There's also a tritium field designed for luminescence at the hour and minute hands.

The Chronomat of today has two styles of face. The first one is the "GT" style. This one has large rings situated around the subdials, and the hour markers are also designed to be large and these are ended in tritium dots. The second style is called "Vitesse". It has Arabic numerals that are also luminescent.
