Catalogue Essay
- Founded by Swiss watchmaker Léon Breitling in 1884, Breitling is known for its precision chronographs designed for aviation. One of the brand’s most famous and best-selling designs is the Chronomat chronograph model. Originally released in the 1940’s, with a name that stood for Chronographe Mathematique, it is the ancestor of the Navitimer.

- In 1984, following the aftermath of the Quartz Crisis, Breitling relaunched the Chronomat for the 100th anniversary year of the brand’s founding, in a collaboration with Italy’s renowned Frecce Tricolori jet team. The new design introduced the interchangeable rider tabs on the quarter markers of the bezel, making it possible to use it for counting up or down, which is also useful for sailing or motorsports. Powered by the legendary automatic calibre Valjoux 7750, the elegant new Chronomat was met with instantaneous success even during a quartz-dominant era.

- The present Breitling Chronomat reference A1335211 from circa 2000 is presented in excellent condition, and complete with its full set of accessories. It is without a doubt an icon that represents the pinnacle of Breitling's watchmaking prowess and the perfect watch for every pursuit.

Breitling

Swiss | 1884
The firm started by Leon Breitling in 1884 is best known for its technical aviation and oceanic watches. Today, all models are outfitted with certified chronometer movements, used for accurate timing. Early aviation pioneers in specialized chronograph timepieces, Breitling introduced the circular slide rule to watches in the 1940s for use by pilots. The firm’s most iconic chronograph, the Navitimer, was introduced in 1954 and continues to be manufactured today. Another key model is the Duograph, a split-seconds chronograph that was Breitling's most prestigious wristwatch during the 1940s through '60s. Their watches are built on their reputation for precision and sturdiness.
