Introducing – The 2020 Breitling Chronomat B01 42 with Rouleaux Bracelet and a “Frecce Tricolori” Re-Edition
The name “Chronomat” can refer to multiple watches at Breitling and holds a significant place in the brand’s history.

I was very fortunate to have heard this story told by one of the men who played a part, US astronaut Jim Lovell – at the NASA Space Centre in Houston.
