Breitling Chronomat Automatic
How to Choose Your Breitling Chronomat Automatic?
Three criteria guide your choice: case size, complication and material.
On size, the Chronomat B10 Automatic 36 (36 mm) and the Super Chronomat Automatic 38 (38 mm) are suited for slimmer or feminine wrists. The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 (40 mm) works for everyone. The B01 Chronograph 42 and Super Chronomat B01 44 are for those seeking more presence on the wrist.
On complication, the B31 and B10 calibres are straightforward three-hand automatics, robust and reliable for daily wear. The GMT 40 displays a second time zone, perfect for frequent travellers. The B01 Chronograph adds a precision manufacture chronograph with 70 hours of power reserve.
On materials, steel is the versatile default. The B01 42 Titanium offers lightness and durability for intensive use. Versions in red or white gold, sometimes set with diamonds, complete the range for more formal occasions.
Which Chronomat Automatic for Which Profile?
- Slim / feminine wrist / daily wear → Chronomat B10 Automatic 36 or Super Chronomat Automatic 38 — compact and elegant
- Versatile everyday men's watch → Chronomat B31 Automatic 40 — understated three-hand, from €6,400
- Frequent traveller → Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 — second time zone always displayed
- Complication enthusiast → Chronomat B01 Chronograph 42 — COSC manufacture calibre, 70 h power reserve
- Lightness / intensive sport → Chronomat B01 42 Titanium — same movement, case 30% lighter
Auberi's take: In-store, the Chronomat B01 Chronograph 42 in steel is consistently the most tried-on model, it wins people over on the wrist thanks to the combination of a manufacture B01 movement and a 42 mm case size that suits most wrists.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Breitling B31, B10 and B01 calibres?
The B31 (40 mm) and B10 (36 mm) are automatic three-hand calibres with no complication — reliable and robust for everyday wear. The B01 (42 or 44 mm) is a COSC-certified manufacture chronograph calibre with 70 hours of power reserve. The two families differ in use as much as in size.
Is the Chronomat Automatic a sports watch or a dress watch?
Both. Born for aviation and the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team, the Chronomat remains rugged (200 m water resistance, notched bezel). But its integrated Rouleaux bracelet and refined finishing make it equally at home in professional settings, everyday life, or evening occasions.
What is the water resistance of Breitling Chronomat Automatic watches?
All Chronomat Automatic models are water-resistant to 200 metres (20 bar). They withstand swimming and water sports. For technical diving, Breitling offers the Superocean Heritage collections.
