The original Breitling Chronomat conceived as an aviation chronograph watch for the Italian Frecce Tricolori aerobatics team was designed with the needs of professional pilots in mind. The sturdiness of the case the ergonomic shapes of the lugs crown and chrono push-pieces and the readability of the dial all contributed to making the Breitling Chronomat the flagship of Breitlings collection. It was also the first of the Breitling watch families to contain the brands in-house Caliber in 2009. For the models 30th anniversary Breitling has launched a special series of the Breitling Chronomat that recalls the look of the original Frecce Tricolori Chronomat.
