At 28 Mm, Breitling’s Latest Chronomat Is Its Smallest to Date
The release of the newly petite Chronomat 28 signals Breitling’s dedication to fashion and function in the form of versatile sporty-chic watches for all occasions.
Whether you opt for a stainless-steel or mixed-metal duotone Rouleaux bracelet, Breitling’s slimmest Chronomat yet comes with a variety of dial options, but all bear the signature raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks on the bezel.
Redefined and slender, the Chronomat 28 is an elegant take on the ’80s classic, now with a variety of sleek dial options available. Each is made with sustainable and traceable lab-grown diamonds. Possible dial options include mother-of-pearl in blue or pink with lab-grown-diamond indexes, stainless steel with a black mother-of-pearl dial and a lab-grown-diamond-set bezel and indexes, and two-tone stainless steel and 18 K red gold. The comfortable butterfly folding clasp seals the deal on this SuperQuartz™ Caliber 72–powered chronometer, certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).
“The Chronomat is a Breitling classic, a watch that signals a spirit of adventure and a certain confidence for all occasions,” says CEO Georges Kern. “It’s versatile and all-purpose yet elegant, a true timepiece that looks great, wears well, and says style all at once.”
The new Chronomat 28 bears Breitling’s Origins label after the Swiss luxury watchmaker spent the last few years transitioning from mined to lab-grown diamonds. Taken together with the slender new form, the Chronomat 28 is a watch that’s not just about style and influence, but also integrity.
Watches bearing the Origins label feature precious materials traceable to producers who have been selected for their responsibility to their employees, the local community, and the
environment. By March 2026, Breitling intends for all products to carry this level of certainty regarding the traceability of source materials.
The Chronomat 28 is the slimmest version of the Breitling classic yet.
