The colour scheme of this Breitling watch is very attractive. The bordeaux colour of the dial with gold subdials creates an exciting contrast to the cool grey colour of the steel case, making this timepiece a "must-have" for anyone who loves sports chronographs.
The "Chronomat" model was reissued in 1984 and is the flagship piece of the Breitling range. In the specialist field of mechanical chronographs, the Chronomat has established itself as the leading model. Then as now, the movement used was the Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph calibre, which is renowned for its reliability. Originally designed for the famous Frecce Tricolori aerobatics team, it has been continuously updated and refined over the years - both technically as well as aesthetically.
