Today's offering showcases this steel and 18K gold Breitling Chronomat Vitesse chronograph.

With its generous, sophisticated lines, the Chronomat is above all else a genuine "instrument for professionals": a sturdy, precise and functional chronograph. 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*.

It is all original and in very pleasing condition. Its original Breitling Pilot bracelet presents as just short of mint.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Breilting Chronomat:

Worn by Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tommy Lee Jones, Breitling's watches are favorites of Hollywood celebrities and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction (Willis and Seinfeld 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.
