Prestigious watchmaking once again joins forces with the world of two-wheelers with the third collaboration between Breitling and Triumph Motorcycles.
In 2024, lovers of sophisticated timepieces and motorcycle enthusiasts will witness the spectacular return of the Chronomat, one of the iconic watches from the Swiss house Breitling. Discover the essence of this fusion between watchmaking innovation and motorcycling spirit.
The Chronomat: a return to the roots of mechanical watchmaking
Launched in 1984, the Chronomat marked a turning point in the history of Breitling, in the midst of the domination of quartz watches. Against all expectations, the brand introduced a mechanical chronograph robust and imposing, celebrating its centenary with boldness. This timepiece quickly established itself as a symbol of the revival of the mechanical chronograph, claiming its place within the rich heritage of Breitling.
Noble materials for a bold design
THE Chronomat B01 42 Triumph, the result of this new collaboration, is distinguished by its 42 mm titanium case, enhanced with an 18-carat gold ring around the unidirectional bezel. The crown and chronograph pushers, also in 18-karat red gold, give the watch a sophisticated shine. This harmonious marriage of noble materials and functional design pays homage to watchmaking craftsmanship while asserting a resolutely modern character.
An exceptional caliber and subtle details
The dial of the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph, with its luminous anthracite hue, provides an elegant backdrop to the chronograph counters and small seconds. The indexes and hands, matched with red gold accents, add a touch of refinement. Carefully integrated details, such as the Triumph logo on the central second hand and the motto “For the Ride” on the interior tachymeter scale, reinforce the link with the world of Triumph motorcycles.
At the heart of this timepiece beats the Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronograph movement, renowned for its precision and reliability. Equipped with a column wheel and a vertical clutch, it offers a power reserve of 70 hours. The screwed sapphire crystal back allows you to admire the details of this exceptional caliber, symbolizing the transparency and excellence of mechanical watchmaking. The brown perforated leather strap with a folding clasp completes this watch adding a final touch of sophistication.
