In 1969, Breitling introduced its Chrono-Matic calibre, one of the first automatic chronograph calibres developed in collaboration with Heuer-Leonidas and Buren-Hamilton. For diving an extra strong crystal was used, as well as a newly patented water-resistant rotating bezel.
The orange design elements characteristic of the early 1970s and the lime green luminous indexes give the black and white dial a fantastic and refreshing vintage look.
