Breitling Chronomat

Most vintage collectors would agree that when they hear the name 'Breitling', the model that springs to mind is the Navitimer, arguably the quintessential pilot’s chronograph and navigational tool.

But the Navitimer owes its success to the inroads made by its predecessor, the Chronomat. Where the later Navitimers were produced in 42mm, the Chronomat was built around a sleek 37mm steel case, making it infinitely more comfortable and discreet on the wrist.

This particular example dates to the 1960s and features an absolutely stunning "reverse-panda" dial with colorful red accents and applied indices. Coupled with luminous 5-minute markers and a matching 'Dauphine' handset, this piece is a crispy clean example of the oft-overlooked vintage Breitling chronograph. 

And while fans of this handsome chrono might bemoan its lack of fame, it has kept it off the radar of collectors, making this a compelling option for any fan of Breitling’s distinct aviators watches - or to anyone seeking a time capsule of a vintage chronograph.
