Breitling Chronomat watch
This watch collection was designed to be an all-purpose sports watch that can be used for many situations. It runs on an in-house COSC certified Chronometer movement; the Breitling caliber B01 that contains 47 jewels and an above-average power reserve of 70 hours.
This automatic movement oscillates at a rate of 4Hz / 28,800 and because it is a self-winding watch, it keeps the watch tightly wound using a built-in winding rotor that converts the kinetic energy from your wrist movement to tighten the mainspring.
deep-water diving watch
While a newer version of the Chronomat Chronograph is now available in a smaller 42mm case size, the one thing that ultimately differentiates this series from the newer series is the fact that it has three times the water resistance.
The Chronomat 44mm is water-resistant up to 600m/1650ft and that is enough for some serious deep-water diving.
Water sports watches
Does this make it more appealing? To some who need an extra-strength case, yes. To others, they can get by with the newer 42 model that only offers 200m of water resistance; enough for some impact water sports, board diving, and scuba diving.
