BREITLING
Milestone Mechanical Marvels
Chrono-Matic QP & 1461

To celebrate the 40 th anniversary of the launch of the first selfwinding chronograph movement, Breitling is introducing two limited editions of its Chrono-Matic model, featuring a look inspired by the 1969 original and equipped with precious quadrennial or perpetual calendars.
1969 was a great year for aviation, since it witnessed the first flight of the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet and that of the supersonic Concorde, two legendary aircraft that made an indelible imprint on aeronautical history.
But 1969 was also a landmark year in watchmaking, thanks to Breitling's pioneering launch of the very first selfwinding chronograph movement – an invention that led to the development of a whole range of aptly named Chrono-Matic chronographs.
Today's 49 mm-diameter Chrono-Matic is a tribute to this forerunner of ultra-large watches.
