On trend, yet timeless - The new Breitling Chronomat 28

Posted on 12 November 2024

Introducing the new Breitling Chronomat 28: a harmonious blend of sports chic, precision, and ethical craftsmanship. Compact yet bold, this watch embodies the spirit of adventure, paying homage to its 1980s roots while embracing a modern, eco-conscious ethos. Designed for those who seek both style and substance, the Chronomat 28 features lab-grown diamonds and responsibly sourced materials, setting a new standard for luxury timepieces.

 

The launch of the compact Chronomat 28 highlights Breitling's continued focus on blending fashion with functionality, offering versatile, sporty-chic watches suitable for any occasion. Available with a stainless steel or mixed-metal Rouleaux bracelet, Breitling’s slimmest Chronomat to date retains the signature raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks on the bezel, an iconic design feature.

In 1984, Breitling introduced the Chronomat to the public, featuring rider tabs, an onion-shaped crown, and the durable Rouleaux bracelet, all of which remain essential elements of the design today. Pilots needed a durable watch for the cockpit, but one that would also look sleek off-duty. Breitling innovated by recessing the watch crystal in the bezel and protecting it with raised rider tabs at the 15-minute intervals. This unique design impressed the pilots and soon gained traction among collectors.

The latest Chronomat 28 refines the classic ’80s design into a sleeker, more elegant model. Available with various dial options, each featuring sustainable lab-grown diamonds, the model comes in stainless steel with blue or pink mother-of-pearl dials, stainless steel with a diamond-set bezel and black mother-of-pearl dial, and a two-tone stainless steel and 18K red gold version. All models are fitted with a comfortable butterfly clasp and powered by the COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ Calibre 72 movement.

Breitling CEO Georges Kern describes the Chronomat as "a classic that embodies adventure and confidence in any setting." Its combination of versatility, elegance, and functionality ensures it remains a standout timepiece.
