Reimagined for today but steeped in ‘80s legacy, the Breitling Super Chronomat captures the essence of modern retro in a timepiece that commands attention with its bold design and refined details.
Why we love it
This Breitling Super Chronomat is a striking reinterpretation of a classic design from the 1980s, reimagined with distinct modern aesthetics with contemporary refinements, creating an exceptional chronograph. Known for its robust, masculine design, this timepiece was reimagined by Breitling in 2021, with its origins tracing back to the original Chronomat series. This model celebrates the era’s iconic aesthetic but incorporates updates suited to modern tastes, embodying what Breitling CEO Georges Kern describes as “modern retro.”
At 44mm, this Super Chronomat presents a bold silhouette that commands attention. Its steel case features a mix of satin and polished finishes, complemented by a sturdy crown protector and screw-down pushers. The dial design evokes a vintage charm with baton-shaped hour markers and a tachymeter scale, staying true to its ‘80s inspiration. At night, the luminescent markers ensure visibility, while the contrasting silver sub-dials with concentric grooves add depth and texture. Breitling incorporates black ceramic elements in the bezel, a high-tech material that adds both resilience and sleek contrast to the metalwork.
The rotating bezel is punctuated by non-recessed screws and four cursors at zero, 15, 30, and 45 minutes, preserving the signature design elements of the original model, which served as both a pilots’ and divers’ watch. These cursors can be rearranged to create a countdown function, and the bezel’s one-way rotation and luminescent markers with water resistance up to 200 metres. The watch is also powered by Breitling’s esteemed calibre 01, visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, and delivers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
This Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A1 is in mint condition with no scratches on the watch.
Provenance
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.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
