This Chronomat has eaten away my brain!

In addition to being a real favorite, this watch perfectly meets my expectations. The onion-type screw-in crown, the roller bracelet, the four riders on the bezel are faithful to the original design launched in 1983 for Italian pilots. They bring charm and character. I opted for this pretty "slate" gray dial (exclusive boutique color). Each ray of sunlight, shadows, angles give different reflections to the dial and to this mirror-polished steel bezel, it is very attractive to look at. The red GMT hand brings it color. I enjoy contemplating this beautiful second hand floating on the dial. The little detail that I like a lot, the brand badge which represents a "B" applied on the dial! I also appreciate the baton-type indexes, hard to choose🤔 I have to talk about the legendary roller bracelet. In my opinion it is sublime and comfortable. Nothing to complain about, it is perfect! The heart of the watch is powered by the Breitling Caliber 32, an ETA 2893-2 base modified by the brand and COSC certified. This movement is not unanimous because for the price some would like a manufactured movement. Personally, it does not bother me. This Chronomat has a sporty look and characteristics (waterproof 20 ATM, screwed crown, crown protector) but also a chic side which makes it a versatile piece. You have understood that I adhere 100% to the model as it gives me pleasure on the wrist and emotions.
