Sell Your Breitling Chronomat in London

About the Breitling Chronomat

Relaunched in 1984, the Chronomat helped revive the mechanical Breitling and was linked to the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team. The modern line pairs the rider-tab bezel with in-house movements and integrated bracelets.

Chronomat references and generations

Key references and variants we regularly assess:

• Chronomat B01 42 (in-house Calibre 01)
• Rider-tab bezel with rouleaux bracelet
• Steel, two-tone and gold configurations
• GMT and automatic three-hand variants
• Special editions including aviation ties

Movements and calibres

Modern Chronomats use Breitling's in-house, COSC-certified Calibre 01 and related movements. Chronograph function, running condition and service history feed the valuation.

What affects the value of a Breitling Chronomat

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Breitling Chronomat:

• Reference and case metal
• In-house or supplied movement
• Bracelet type and condition
• Box, papers and service records
• Overall condition and wear
• Current demand for that configuration

Selling a Breitling Chronomat without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Breitling Chronomat without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Breitling Chronomat

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
