The Breitling Chronomat was originally designed as the official watch of the Frecce Tricolori, the famed Italian aerobatics squadron and has since proven popular with both aviators and motorsports teams.
The new timepiece contains all the characteristics this classic line is known for, including the onion crown, and the raised rider tabs at the 15-minute and 45-minute positions, which protect the crystal but are interchangeable, making it possible to use the rotating bezel for either “count up” or “count down” functions.

Powered by the self-winding Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 and with a water resistance of up to 200 metres, the distinctive design of the Chronomat B01 42 Year of Dragon includes a burgundy dial that symbolises good fortune and prosperity, triple chronograph counters in black, as well as a dragon insignia positioned in the subdial at 9 o’clock and on the sapphire crystal caseback.
The hands of the new watch are coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova for enhanced readability in low light while the caseback of each watch shows an individual series number.
