"There has never been anyone in a plane's cockpit without a Breitling ... on his wrist -- or who would at least wished to have one." - Musings of an aviation journalist
Worn by Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tommy Lee Jones, the Breitling watches are favorites of Hollywood celebrities and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction (Willis and Seinfeld both wear Chronomats).
As the leading model of the Breitling collection, the Chronomat rapidly asserted itself as the reference in the specialized field of mechanical chronographs. Originally created to equip the famous Frecce Tricolori flight team, the Chronomat has constantly evolved over the years, both technically and aesthetically, while retaining its unique style characterized by the rotating rider-tab bezel.
With its generous, sophisticated lines, the Chronomat is above all else a genuine "instrument for professionals": a sturdy, precise and functional chronograph. Witness its case equipped with screw-locked safety pushpieces enabling it to withstand over pressure of 30 bars. This device also ensures effective protection against shocks. In terms of its "motor", the Chronomat lives up to its reputation, since it is propelled by the powerful Breitling Caliber 13 - one of the world's most reliable and accurate self-winding chronograph movements*.
We are pleased to offer today this superior Certified Pre-Owned steel Chronomat wristwatch. Our photos couldn't do it justice.
It has all-original parts and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.5 out of 10. Its case has light remnants of wear to the back - on the wrist it presents as mint. Its original "reverse panda" dial with beautiful textured center section is untouched and mint condition. And its original Breitling "Pilot" bracelet presents as just short of perfect mint.
A Master Watchmaker has overhauled the movement. It continues to keep very accurate time.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
