The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 is Breitlings tribute to travel, not only for its dual time zone display, but also because of its easygoing aesthetics. Subtle dial colors, combined with an all-steel case and bracelet, work with any wardrobe. Meanwhile, the tone-on-tone 24-hour scale lets the red GMT hand speak for itself.

The Breitling Caliber 32 powers the GMT complication. Its 24-hour scale lets the user track a second time zone and know at a glance whether its day or night, while the onion crown (a classic Chronomat feature named for its fluted-dome shape) allows for easy adjustments. As an all-purpose sports watch, meant to cross over between Breitlings air, land and sea universes, the GMT 40 has an impressive 200m water resistance. Known as a watch for every pursuit, the Chronomat mission is truer now than ever because of the GMT 40s practical size and understated style. Sturdy enough for the gym, yet smart enough for black tie: If theres one watch to travel with, this is it.

History of Breitling

Getting into the watch manufacturing business in the mid-1880s was no easy feat. Switzerland was experiencing the worst part of a long recession. Yet, despite the economic difficulty, social unrest and uncertainty about the future, 24-year-old Lon Breitling stayed true to his vision of creating instruments that could measure, divide and master time.

Today, Georges Kern and his team continue the rich tradition that began in a small workshop in St. Imier in 1884. The product portfolio was restructured around the brand’s three historic universes: Air, Land and Sea. Breitling redefined itself as “a generalist Swiss watch brand offering a cool, informal and inclusive alternative” to traditional watchmakers.
