Breitling Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 Steel & Blue Dial Watch

The Breitling Chronomat holds a significant place in the brand’s history, and it’s a tribute to travel, not only for its dual time zone display, but also because of its easy-going aesthetics. A watch for every pursuit, the Chronomat mission is truer now than ever because of the GMT 40’s practical, easy-to-wear size and understated style. Expertly crafted from highly polished and brushed stainless steel, this mid-sized 40MM watch is sturdy enough for the gym, yet smart enough for a black-tie event. Inside, the elegant blue dial is adorned with steel, luminescent indexes, and hands for high visibility in dark climates. Featuring a red GMT hand with a tone-on-tone 24-hour disc surrounding the outer edge, which lets the user track a second time zone. Complete with the iconic Breitling branding and protected with a glare-proof, cambered sapphire crystal glass cover. Complemented by a unidirectional ratcheted bezel, with distinctive 4-rider tabs at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock that lend a technical and original touch of style. The Breitling Calibre 32 is protected by an ultra-sturdy case, with a screw-locked onion fluted crown and water-resistant to a depth of 200 m. It’s finished with a simplified case back design for a sleeker appearance, powered by the Calibre 32 with an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The co-ordinating, high-resistance, steel “Rouleaux” bracelet secures to the wrist with a deployment clasp fastening, for the ultimate comfort and easy release.
