BREITLING
Chronomat
1808
Retro vintage Breitling chronograph with slide rule calculator.
The Chronomat with its rotating slide rule first patented in 1941 offering an engineering and mathematical tool for the wrist that would later inspire the iconic Navitimer for pilots in the mid 1950s.
The 1808 was one of the first big case models introduced in the late 1960s to feature the legendary Calibre 11 movement, arguably the first Automatic Chronograph released in late 1968 /69.
