Hands-on review: Breitling Chronomat 44

We watch enthusiasts have always dreamed about a watch that has it all.

We always look for a watch that combines all the best functions from all the worlds; by worlds, we mean that every watch company has its signature move, whether in quality, materials, or design.

However, imagine if a wristwatch could have all of these features under just one case.

Today we will discuss a Swiss company that attempted the action we mentioned.

The Breitling Chronomat 44.

This watch is by far one of the most practical watches we have ever seen in our career, so that we will be debating on certain functionalities and qualities.

We hope that this timepiece will meet our expectations, and in the end, you will be aware of everything there is to know about the Breitling Chronomat 44.

So, if you are ready, let’s get started.

Overall view of Breitling Chronomat 44

We have seen complex calibers and dials on this website; however, we have never encountered a watch like this one.

The Breitling Chronomat 44 has the most elaborate system you have ever seen in your life and maybe beyond.

The durability of the Breitling Chronomat 44 meets both worlds:

• Class
• Constructiveness

This means that while this watch has lots of excellent innovative materials inside its body and case, there are also materials that enhance its durability overall.

On the other hand, the Breitling brand works on specific watches meaning that none of the pieces this company produces are regular watches; they would have something to make their models stand out compared to the rest of the watches.

When we come to design, the Breitling Chronomat 44 has many features that would be an exceptional addition to a wristwatch.

Most of the work is done in the caliber. However, specific characteristics show on the dial and the body.

If you take one good look at the dial of the Breitling Chronomat 44, you will understand what we mean; overall, the design of this watch will be legendary if this watch is like anything that we heard about.

And the last section will be the special features, this watch is known for its four-year quality.

This function immensely impressed us when we first heard about it.

Further, into the article, we will be deliberating all of these little details about this unique watch, and we hope you will enjoy the report we have prepared for you.

So let’s get into the statement and open up the mighty Breitling Chronomat 44.

The durability of the Breitling Chronomat 44

These days topics of the most debates on the watch materials are on two different sides:

• Durability
• Weight

These functions and their priority would differ from one watch company to another. However, most manufacturers are working on making their watches lighter in weight and more durable, it may seem absurd, but it is possible.

The Breitling Chronomat 44 uses two materials in that order.

These materials are so different in usage; however, they both look perfect on the watch, and besides, this brand solved one of the most significant issues of all time in luxury watches.

Stainless steel and red gold are the two substances that the Breitling Chronomat 44 comes in, yet if you recall, in some of our previous articles, we talked about the gold cases and how they would bend much easier than the solid steel.

But the Breitling combines the red gold with other materials to make it as durable as possible.

And one of the other issues that this brand took the time to fix is the straps.

This watch comes in two strap modes:

• Rubber fiber
• Metal

These straps look good on this watch inspired by the original 1980s model.

Overall the durability of the Breitling Chronomat 44 is off the charts due to the materials that they use and the ergonomics of their timepiece, and this watch would get a 10 out of 10 in this section.

Now, to the design.

The design of the Breitling Chronomat 44

You probably know that we get excited by a decent design; however, the Breitling Chronomat 44 is more than worthy.

The features and small details made this watch a masterpiece among the Swiss watches.

However, some individuals would like more simple and minimal watches, but if you are looking for complex but practical, you can always count on the Breitling Chronomat 44.

The Breitling Chronomat 44 is one of the few watches that use the moon phase on its dial; as you know, the moon phase indicates whether it is night or day with visuals of sun and moon.

The dial has four additional mini dials with particular purposes, and further into the special features section; we will talk about these features.

The black matte look of the dial with the sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating makes the face of this watch immaculate.

The body is circular; however, the thickness of the watch is something that the Breitling couldn’t manage, but considering the features and characteristics, it is pretty reasonable.

This watch’s design is at the top of the chart, so let’s get to the features section, shall we?

Special features of the Breitling Chronomat 44

The Breitling Chronomat 44 has many unique functions.

At the beginning of the article, we mentioned that this watch is called the four-year but why?

As you can see, the Breitling Chronomat 44 has a calendar dial on it for months and days. Usually, you have to wind the calendar every year to keep it accurate; it means every 365 days.

But the Breitling Chronomat 44 has a four-year calendar system, meaning you only need to wind it every four years or 1,460 days.

This watch has a rate of 100 meters of water resistance and around 42 hours of power reserve function.

The red spike at the end of the second counting hand is made from 18k red gold, just like the case and the metal bracelet.

Overall the features on this watch are innovative and more than we could have ever asked for.

So now, let’s wrap up and get to the last part.

Wrapping up…
