The Chronomat Evolution is the current evolution of the company's flagship timepiece. As the leader of the Breitling Collection, the Chronomat rapidly asserted itself as the reference in the specialized field of mechanical chronographs. Originally created to equip the famous Frecce Tricolori flight team, the Chronomat has constantly evolved over the years, both technically and aesthetically. The Evolution version of the Chronomat is undoubtedly the most accomplished, with its generous, sophisticated lines resulting from a subtle alchemist's blend of proportions and curves. In 2008, Breitling renamed the Chronomat Evolution to the Chronomat, replacing the name of the old model.
