-A modern all-purpose sports watch that originated from the pilot’s watch that saved the predicament of mechanical watches
Breitling was founded in 1884 by its founder, Léon Breitling, in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. One of the most important models in this long history is the Chronomat collection.

The model that is said to be the ancestor of the current model is a model released in 1984 based on a pilot’s watch made for the Italian Air Force’s aerobatic flight team “Frecce Tricolori” in 1983, but in fact, the production of this model began in the 1980s, when ultra-thin quartz watches were flourishing.
While the market share of quartz was steadily growing, traditional mechanical watches were gradually being eliminated.
At a time when many long-established brands are facing an existential crisis, Breitling has created a chronograph for pilots with excellent performance and a striking design suitable for a new era. The subsequent re-evaluation of mechanical watches is well known.
The Chronomat, which was the catalyst for Breitling’s revival, has since undergone a major renewal in 2020 and has been reborn as a modern all-purpose sports watch.
