Breitling
SUper Chronomat B19 44 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary
RB19301A1G1S1 Chronomat
Description
The Chronomat first launched in 1983 as the official watch of Italy’s aerobatics team, the Frecce Tricolori. The popularity of its design led to a wider release a year later. This quartz-era timing was significant—the Chronomat was instrumental in restoring the popularity of mechanical chronographs. The anniversary edition features the model’s distinctive design with four raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, an “onion” crown, and a rubber version of the model’s classic Rouleaux bracelet. Ceramic inserts give it a sUpercharged look. Plus, it marks another first for Breitling: a dramatic skeletonized dial.
