Breitling Chronomat GMT 47mm Watch - Rugged Luxury Timepiece

Introducing the Breitling Chronomat GMT 47mm

Breitling has long been known for making some of the finest luxury watches for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Their Chronomat collection in particular has become an icon in the world of aviation watches. Breitling recently released an updated version of their popular Chronomat GMT watch, now featuring a 47mm case size perfect for those who prefer a bold, statement-making timepiece.

A Closer Look at the Breitling Chronomat GMT

The Breitling Chronomat GMT is designed as a true navigational watch, equipped with features tailored towards aviation and travel. It has a second time-zone display, an easy-grip bidirectional rotating bezel with 24-hour scale, and a highly legible dial with luminescent hands and hour markers. The GMT hand, tipped in red arrow, can be set to a second time zone via the crown.

At 47mm diameter, this is one of Breitling's larger watches, ideal for those with bigger wrists who like the substantial on-wrist presence. The case is crafted from Breitling's proprietary satin-brushed stainless steel, with highlights of polish on the lugs and bezel. It is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet), providing plenty robustness for recreational swimming and water sports.

A High-Performance Manufacture Movement Inside

Powering the Chronomat GMT is Breitling's in-house Caliber B04 movement, offering 70 hours of power reserve. It has received a COSC chronometer certification, meeting stringent standards for precision and accuracy. The movement can be admired through a transparent sapphire caseback.

Like all Breitling movements, the Caliber B04 is Swiss made, engineered and assembled in their workshops by experts bringing generations of watchmaking expertise. The innovative construction and materials ensure robustness, reliability and long service life even under pressure.

Signature Breitling Aviation Design

Fans of Breitling will immediately recognize the signature design features. The Chronomat case with integrated lugs flows seamlessly into the screwed-in crown guards, exuding confidence and purpose. The fluted bezel rotates smoothly in both directions.

The thick, highly domed sapphire crystal adds to the retro aviation look. The black dial has a trio of silver contrasting subdials, red-tipped central GMT hand, and applied hour markers. At 12 o'clock the iconic Breitling logo and wings take pride of place just below the arrow-tipped 12 hour marker.

A Supremely Comfortable wearing experience

Despite the 47mm diameter, the Chronomat GMT remains a pleasure to wear thanks to well-balanced proportions. The provided Ocean Racer stainless steel metal bracelet feels silky smooth, with a safety push-button fold-over clasp and extension system for adjusting to wrist size.

For added comfort over long wear, the bracelet utilizes Breitling's patented ratcheting system that micro-adjusts links. This ensures stable positioning on the wrist without pinching skin or pulling hairs during movement.
