Breitling Chronomat - A Piece of History

Here is my 2004 Breitling Chronomat 39mm with Panda Dial & Valjoux Movement 7750 it’s a true Gem and lots of History Behind it and mind you I got it used from one of Retired Pilot who flew DC-3 while back..

I did polish it my self and watch is being overhauled by Breitling in Toronto one year ago.

I remember Ernest Schneider when he created this Chronomat and made it famous with Frecce TriColori Italian Jet Team.

This is my Favourite and Original True Gem by Breitling.

Just wanted to share and if your into Horology you’ll appreciate a piece of History.

Take Care Stay Safe
