The Breitling Chrono-Matic holds a significant place in the history of aviation-inspired timepieces. Introduced in the late 1960s, the Chrono-Matic was revolutionary for its innovative use of an automatic chronograph movement, which was developed in collaboration with Heuer, Hamilton, and Buren. This groundbreaking movement, known as the Caliber 11, featured a modular design with a micro-rotor for automatic winding, allowing for precise timekeeping and chronograph functions without the need for manual winding. The Chrono-Matic's distinctive design, with its large case, bold dial, and prominent crown and pushers, quickly captured the attention of pilots and aviation enthusiasts, solidifying its status as an icon of horological innovation and engineering prowess.

This particular 1970s example, is in wonderful original condition, with its case retaining crisp edges and sharp lines and the black dial with contrasting white sub-dials show beautiful patina throughout.
