The Breitling Chronomat holds a significant place in Breitling’s history. Introduced in 1984, at a time where extra-thin quartz timepieces were the order of the day, Breitling placed a bold bet on an impressively proportioned mechanical watch. Based on the Frecce Tricolori chronograph, which had been developed and launched in 1983 in collaboration with the famed Italian aerial squadron, the Chronomat celebrated Breitling’s centenary in style and marked the return of the mechanical chronograph to its rightfully prominent place at the brand which had built its global reputation on these incredible watches.
The Frecce Tricolori, or tricolor arrows, edition skirts around the hot topic of logo design since Georges Kern came on board. The winged-logo has been removed from modern editions of the Navitimer, which is a travesty. However, the “B” logo is there on the counter-balance of the chronograph seconds hand, just without the anchor symbol. The hands and markers share a consistent trapezoid shape with a mirror-shine yet retain legibility and glow thanks to the Super-LumiNova filling.
