The Chronomat first appeared in 1942; its name—a combination of "Chronographe" and "Mathématique"—signifies a fusion of chronograph functionality and mathematical calculation. Equipped with a circular slide rule, the original model was a professional tool capable of performing various calculations right on the wrist. However, the most distinctive design elements of today's Chronomat collection primarily originate from the 1980s.Best luxury replica watches price at Repwatcheaprice, cheap watches for men and women.
In 1983, Breitling created a dedicated mechanical chronograph for the Italian Air Force’s "Frecce Tricolori" aerobatic team. To address the issue of pilots accidentally knocking the watch crystal when opening or closing the cockpit canopy, Breitling recessed the crystal and added raised "rider tabs" at the four cardinal points of the bezel for protection. In 1984, this design was launched to the market under the name "Chronomat"; the rider tabs, onion-shaped crown, and "Rouleaux" (roller-style) bracelet subsequently became the collection's most distinctive elements. The Chronomat series underwent a significant technical upgrade in 2009, when Breitling debuted its first modern in-house movement—the Calibre 01 automatic chronograph—in the Chronomat B01 model. By 2021, the Super Chronomat series had arrived; featuring a 44mm case and incorporating more ceramic components, it exuded a bolder, sportier aesthetic, establishing itself as the most commanding and imposing member of the Chronomat family.
The most immediate characteristic of this watch is its construction entirely from titanium. Titanium has a darker, grayer hue and is lighter than stainless steel; consequently, despite a 44mm diameter and a thickness of approximately 14.45mm, the watch does not feel heavy on the wrist. The case features a predominantly brushed finish paired with a black ceramic bezel. This bezel retains the chronograph collection's signature four "rider tabs"—with numerals marking the 15, 30, and 45-minute positions, and a luminous dot at the 12 o'clock position. The black ceramic bezel frames the smoked-gray dial, while black ceramic elements on the crown and chronograph pushers introduce color variation to the case profile, further enhancing the watch's sense of depth and layering.
