Created in the 1980s for Italy’s Frecce Tricolori, the Chronomat was conceived as a union of high style and uncompromising function engineered to perform under 7G forces while looking at ease far beyond the cockpit. From Milan to New York to Tokyo, it quickly gained traction across fashion and pop culture, earning the title “the great new watch for the nineties” by Vogue. Today, the Chronomat returns with subtle but powerful updates, still instantly recognizable by its signature rider tabs and unmistakable Rouleaux bracelet. A new interpretation of Breitling’s Land icon: confident in spirit, versatile in style, and ready for anything. The new Chronomat is presented by the Breitling squad: Austin Butler, Erling Haaland, and Giannis Antetokounmpo each highlighting the key details of the watch.
