Its rotating bezel, featuring four characteristic rider tabs, substantial case construction and integrated-looking bracelet established a design language that would become synonymous with the brand throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chronomat also played an important role in the revival of the mechanical chronograph, adopting the reliable \u003cstrong\u003eValjoux 7750 \u003c\/strong\u003eautomatic movement, a robust calibre whose architecture proved particularly suitable for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present example, \u003cstrong\u003ereference 81950\u003c\/strong\u003e, is an attractive\u003cstrong\u003e two-tone configuration combining steel and yellow gold accents with a black dial and contrasting gold-tone chronograph registers\u003c\/strong\u003e. The combination creates a particularly striking interpretation of the Chronomat's unmistakable design, balancing its instrumental origins with the more expressive aesthetic of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of its most distinctive features is the original \u003cstrong\u003eRouleaux bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose cylindrical links create an immediately recognisable profile. Closely associated with early Chronomat models, this bracelet has become an important element of their historical identity and collector appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreserved in its characteristic steel and gold configuration, this example is accompanied by its original box, booklets and warranty documentation, making it a particularly complete representation of one of Breitling's most significant modern-era chronographs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToday, early Chronomat references are increasingly appreciated for their historical relevance, unmistakable design and connection to the mechanical watchmaking revival of the 1980s.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60176230973824,"sku":null,"price":2600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/4738\/7269\/files\/976_catalogo.png?v=1792597279","url":"https:\/\/luxotimefirenze.com\/products\/breitling-chronomat-rouleaux-black-full-set","provider":"Luxo Time Firenze","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
