The Story
Breitling’s all-purpose watch for your every pursuit. Introducing the all-new Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Super Bowl LVIII edition in celebration of longtime brand ambassador Boomer Esiason with a percentage of proceeds from sales of the watch to benefit the Boomer Esiason Foundation. The Chronomat holds a significant place in Breitling’s history. Introduced in 1984, at a time where extra-thin quartz timepieces were the order of the day, Breitling placed a bold bet on an impressively proportioned mechanical watch. Based on the Frecce Tricolori chronograph, which had been developed and launched in 1983 in collaboration with the famed Italian aerial squadron, the Chronomat celebrated Breitling’s centenary in style and marked the return of the mechanical chronograph to its rightfully prominent place at the brand which had built its global reputation on these incredible watches. The Chronomat features a 42 mm case and the iconic bezel with the four rider tabs.
