For the ride
The Chronomat holds a significant place in Breitling’s history. Introduced in 1984, at a time where extra-thin quartz timepieces were the order of the day, Breitling placed a bold bet on an impressively proportioned mechanical watch. It celebrated Breitling’s centenary in style and marked the return of the mechanical chronograph to its rightfully prominent place at the brand which had built its global reputation on these incredible watches.
As stunning to look at as it is exhilarating to wear, the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Triumph comes in the highest specification ever with a titanium and 18k red gold chassis. You’ll find that premium quality echoed in Triumph’s matching Breitling limited-run Speed Triple RR bike, which serves as the source of inspiration for the detailing found on this spectacular Chronomat. Note the discreet Triumph shield logo on the watch’s central chronograph hand counterweight, the “Triumph Edition” engraving on the caseback, and the perforated calfskin leather strap, finished with a folding titanium clasp.
