The Breitling Chronomat was initially released in 1941 in Switzerland by Breitling SA. [1] Since then it has been one of the best selling watches produced by Breitling. [2] Its set of four bezel rider tabs became a Breitling signature design detail, seen as well in the Breitling Colt. [3] Chronomat is a trademark and collection line first released in 1942, [1] [4] and is one of the company's best-selling models. [5]
The first Chronomat had a circular slide rule and its design followed the tension of the era for military watches. [1] The movement of the first Chronomat was the Venus 175 with 17 jewels, a manual wind movement.[ citation needed]
The Chronomat was a patented design introduced in 1940 by
Willy Breitling and the world's first two-pusher
chronograph wristwatch.
