Breitling launched the Chrono-Matic in 1969 as one of the first automatic chronograph movements ever; it had an original, distinctive look that was typical for the 1970s.
This charismatic Chrono-Matic features a 30 min. and 12h counter, a tachy scale and a date window with red date at 6 o’clock. The luminous indexes are slightly darkened and, together with the white and neon-orange luminous hands, form a wonderfully attractive, lively contrast to the black of the dial and case. Heuer’s legendary calibre 12 with micro-rotor is a guarantee for precision and accuracy.
