In Breitling's illustrious history, this Chronomat holds a significant place. Introduced in 1984, amidst an era dominated by extra-thin quartz timepieces, it marked a bold departure—a return to the era of impressively proportioned mechanical watches. Developed in collaboration with the famed Italian aerial squadron, Frecce Tricolori, the Chronomat was born from the success of the previous year's Frecce Tricolori chronograph. This move not only celebrated Breitling's centenary in style but also reinstated the mechanical chronograph to its rightful prominence—a domain that had built the brand's global reputation.

The Chronomat, with its 42mm case and iconic bezel featuring the distinctive four rider tabs, exemplifies Breitling's commitment to excellence. Crafted in stainless steel and adorned with a striking blue dial featuring the emblem of the Italian aerial squadron, this special edition—the Chronomat Frecce Tricolori Limited Edition—is a true collector's gem. Paired with Breitling's signature 'Rouleaux' bracelet, this timepiece is powered by the in-house Breitling calibre 01, a COSC-certified chronometer renowned for its precision and reliability.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
