Breitling Chronomat Watches
How to Choose Your Breitling Chronomat?
Three criteria guide your choice: case size, complication and family.
On size, the Chronomat 32 and the B10 Automatic 36 target feminine wrists or those who prefer a discreet format. The B31 Automatic 40 and GMT 40 are the versatile all-purpose references. The B01 Chronograph 42 and Super Chronomat B01 44 are for those seeking maximum presence on the wrist.
On complication, the B10 and B31 calibres are three-hand watches with no complication, ideal for daily wear, from €6,400. The GMT Automatic 40 permanently displays a second time zone. The B01 Chronograph adds a COSC-certified manufacture chronograph with 70 hours of power reserve.
On family, the Chronomat Automatic covers sizes 36 to 44 mm across all calibres. The Super Chronomat (38 and 44 mm) stands apart with more luxurious finishings (mother-of-pearl dials, diamond settings, gold) for formal occasions or exceptional gifts.
Which Breitling Chronomat for Which Profile?
- Feminine wrist / compact format → Chronomat B10 Automatic 36 or Chronomat 32 — sporty elegance without overpowering
- Versatile everyday men's watch → Chronomat B31 Automatic 40 — three-hand, understated, from €6,400
- Frequent traveller → Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 — second time zone permanently displayed
- Chronograph enthusiast → Chronomat B01 Chronograph 42 — COSC manufacture calibre, titanium option for intensive use
- Luxurious finishing / exceptional gift → Super Chronomat 38 or B01 44 — mother-of-pearl, diamonds, gold available
Auberi's take: In-store, the Chronomat B01 Chronograph 42 in steel consistently draws the most positive reactions, its Rouleaux bracelet, manufacture calibre and sport-to-city versatility make it the most convincing Chronomat on the wrist.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Chronomat Automatic and the Super Chronomat?
The Chronomat Automatic is the main range — available from 36 to 44 mm, with B10, B31, GMT and B01 Chronograph calibres, in steel or titanium. The Super Chronomat is a more luxurious take (38 and 44 mm), with mother-of-pearl dials, diamond settings and red gold options, designed for those who want a Chronomat with stronger character.
Is the Chronomat 32 automatic or quartz?
The Chronomat 32 is a quartz model — it carries a Breitling SuperQuartz calibre, COSC-certified and temperature-compensated for accuracy of ±15 seconds per year. It is the only quartz calibre in the Chronomat family; all other models (B10, B31, GMT, B01) are manufacture automatics.
What is the water resistance of Breitling Chronomat watches?
All Chronomat models are water-resistant to 200 metres (20 bar). They withstand swimming, water sports and leisure diving. The unidirectional notched bezel with rider tabs meets professional sport watch requirements.
