Chronomat is a high-calibre line from the king of sports watches - Breitling. With all the focus on design versatility and mechanism, this iconic collection, through its distinctive timepieces, advances a decidedly avant-garde vision of watchmaking. Case in point - reference AB041012/BA69/383A.

The signature elements that make a Chronomat recognisable are vividly present in this reference. The characteristic riders make an appearance on the unidirectional rotating bezel that comes mounted on a 47mm case featuring the onion-shaped crown and a solid caseback. Its well-designed, legible dial in black featuring textural variety narrates a story of contrast with luminous markers and handset. The three chronograph counters exhibit functionality along with a tachymeter scale around the outer rim and a discreet date aperture at 4.30. Furthermore, the red-tipped GMT hand indicates another time zone. How about the hallmarks? The Breitling logo and B-detailed seconds hand complete the dial. This reference sits comfortably on the wrist via an ergonomic steel bracelet.

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.
