Breitling Chronomat B01 42mm Automatic Watch AB0158101C1A1

Breitling’s ultimate all-purpose sports watch is ready for anything. The Chronomat holds a
pivotal place in the brand’s modern history. Introduced for Breitling’s centennial in 1984,
at a time when quartz movements dominated, it marked a bold return to mechanically
driven watches. It was born from a collaboration with the beloved Italian aerobatic
squadron, the Frecce Tricolori. When the team asked for an analogue timepiece that could
withstand the intensity of a jet cockpit and still look stylish enough to be worn to formal
events - Breitling developed the “Chronograph Frecce Tricolori.” It was the blueprint for
the Chronomat to follow one year later.

Available in stainless steel, 18ct red gold, or in steel with a platinum bezel, the Chronomat
B01 42 features an instantly recognisable bezel with its four raised rider tabs at the 15-
minute marks. Available in a range of colourful dials, the Chronomat has a fully integrated
signature Rouleaux bracelet with micro adjustments on both sides of the clasp. True to
the original, the Chronomat is powered by the in-house Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01.
It is a tried and tested COSC-certified chronograph calibre with a 6 o’clock date and a 70-
hour power reserve. The case is water resistant to 200 m, making it ready for every
environment.
