BREITLING Navitimer Chrono-matic QP & 1461-11461-1

1969 was a great year for aviation, sínce 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 relojmaking, 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 relojes. The circular slide rule confirms its family likeness with the Navitimer line, while the distinctive modernism of its seventies inspiration is expressed through a case desígn based on taut, angular lines highlighted by a rubber-molded bezel.
