Breitling’s New Super Chronomat Collection
Watchmakers can feel ’80s nostalgia, too, apparently.
Brietling has just unveiled a bold new Super Chronomat collection inspired by the Frecce Tricolori watch the brand created for the Italian Air Force’s aerobatic fleet back in 1983. The updated five-piece series includes a multi-colored trio of B01 44 styles and two 44 Four-Year Calendar models.
True to the original Chronomat, which debuted in 1984, the rider tabs on each model protect the sapphire crystal. The tabs at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock are also interchangeable, so collectors can use them for countdowns or otherwise. With a case measuring 44 millimeters, the pieces feature a stainless-steel bezel with a ceramic insert—a first for the brand on a Chronomat. You also have the choice of selecting a Rouleaux-inspired rubber strap or Breitling’s iconic metal strap with a butterfly clasp for variety. The new edition is created with state-of-the-art injection molding techniques and comes in three distinct textures: matte, slick or woven detailing.

“Your heart was warm and happy
With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day and in every way
Now forever and ever after."
