In 1984, songs like Van Halen’s “Jump” and Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose” topped the charts along with movies like “Indiana Jones” and “The Karate Kid.” The Ewings, The Cosbys and Michael P. Keaton were considered appointment television, and Breitling celebrated its centennial anniversary.
After years of flexing its aeronautic expertise creating high-precision timepieces for such hotshots as the Italian Air Force’s aerobatic fleet, the Swiss manufacturer launched its Chronomat line in 1984 and thus delivered a new level of form and function to everyday citizens.
True to the original men’s Chronomat, the rider tabs at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock protect the sapphire crystal glass from shock. With a case measuring 44 mm for men and 32 mm for women, the Super Chronomat collection comes in three distinct versions. Two are encased in stainless steel with blue or black dial-and-bezel combinations. The most stylish of them all is a rich brown combination with its case and Rouleaux bracelet both set in 18k red gold.
Today through its evolved line of Super Chronomat watches, Breitling continues to deliver bold designs that could be the perfect expression of lifeshared with your everlasting love — amazingly sophisticated and built to last.
