Breitling Unveils the First-Ever Chronomat Designed for Women
Since the 1940s, Breitling has created a variety of dedicated women’s models. There was the delicate ladies’ TransOcean, called the “most wonderful expression of Breitling precision” back in 1957. The Lady J made a bold statement in the 1990s, before the Galactic brought a “blend of refined luxury and uncompromising technical sophistication” in 2010. More recent women’s timepieces include the iconic Navitimer 35 and 38 and the sporty Superocean 36.
The original 1984 Chronomat helped signal the rebirth of the Swiss watch industry, and it has inspired many more timepieces over the past four decades – including women’s models. Today, the modern-retro watches of the Chronomat for Women collection shine the spotlight on confident and versatile women. Read More.
As an addition to the New Chronomat for Women, Breitling has launched in three distinctive versions, the Chronomat Automatic 36 South Sea Capsule Collection is drawn from Breitling’s latest Chronomat for Women range. This elegantly modern, retro-inspired watch is for ladies looking to stand out from the crowd. It symbolizes competence and effortless style with a breezy twist.
"This colorful and exclusive new capsule collection – to be produced for a limited time only – is aimed at more fashion-forward women of action, purpose, and style," notes Breitling CEO Georges Kern.
The timepieces feature special lacquered dials in beige, midnight blue, and mint green, as well as matching alligator straps with folding clasps. Especially striking are the golden indexes and hands, not to mention the diamond-set hour markers and cocktail-hued gem-set bezels.
The Chronomat Automatic 36 timepieces are powered by the Breitling Caliber 10, a COSC-certified chronometer that offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
