Since the 1940s, Breitling has created a variety of dedicated women’s models. There was the delicate ladies’ TransOcean, called the “most wonderful expression of Breitling precision” back in 1957. The Lady J made a bold statement in the 1990s, before the Galactic brought a “blend of refined luxury and uncompromising technical sophistication” in 2010. More recent women’s timepieces include the iconic Navitimer 35 and 38 and the sporty Superocean 36.
The original 1984 Chronomat helped signal the rebirth of the Swiss watch industry, and it has inspired many more timepieces over the past four decades – including women’s models.
Today, the modern-retro watches of the Chronomat for Women collection shine the spotlight on confident and versatile women.
The Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 South Sea Capsule Collection includes three dial variants: beige, midnight blue and mint green. The golden indexes are diamond-set, while the bezel is adorned with ‘cocktail-hued’ gems. Day-to-day convenience is assured courtesy of the model’s automatic movement, the Breitling Calibre 10, which comes with COSC certification.
Léon Breilting founded his eponymous company in 1884. The Swiss firm was initially known for making chronographs, however, in the 1930s it also began producing cockpit instruments for the aviation industry. Over the years, its watches have been marketed as ‘instruments for professionals’. Some of the company’s watches were intentionally utilitarian, while those models which did evince a notable degree of style were clearly intended for male wrists.
It may come as a surprise for many readers to learn that Breitling has also been producing ladies’ watches since the 1940s. The brand’s female offering has always played a supporting role to the men’s Navitimer and Chronomat models.
However, in recent times, the brand, under the stewardship of CEO Georges Kern, has shown that it wants to compete more aggressively in the ladies’ segment, choosing to release some very eye-catching creations. For example, last year, the luxury marque unveiled the Navitimer Automatic 35, clearly intended for female wrists. Indeed, the model was offered with mother-of-pearl dials and diamond-set indexes.
Now the brand has released the Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 South Sea Capsule Collection. The watch is available in three lacquered dial variants: beige, midnight blue and mint green. Gold baton-style hour and minute hands impart meaning. Additional functions include a central sweep seconds and a date display. The golden indexes are diamond-set, while the bezel is adorned with ‘cocktail-hued’ gems. The steel case measures 36mm and the automatic movement, the Breitling Calibre 10, is COSC-certified.
Each member of the Chronomat 36 South Sea Capsule Collection exudes femininity and exhibits a notable quotient of style.
