Breitling has revamped its chronomat line, tweaking it into a collection of smaller chronographs with a casual twist. This marks a departure from the Chronomat’s previous iterations, which consisted largely of technical, hyper-masculine sports watches. With this move, the brand tidies up its range of timepieces to have each collection occupy a more clearly defined niche.
The “modern” Chronomat dates back to 1984, when Breitling released a timepiece based on the Frecce Tricolori watch that was introduced just a year before. Although the “Chronomat” name was previously used on some Breitling watches in the 1940s, the 1984 model was a new and unrelated creation. A portmanteau of “chronograph” and “automatic”, it didn’t just mark a shift back towards mechanical movements for the brand, but also a new chapter for Breitling following the Quartz Crisis.
