I own the Bentley Green dial version. Somehow it attracts attention better than my Rolex Datejust does. I would say it hits a sweet spot between flashy and sporty.

Teddy, my wife bought me this exact watch for my 65th birthday. It’s magnificent. Pictures and video do not do it full justice. Bracelet is super comfortable, the dial pops outdoors, great lume compared to my other chronos; bezel turns like butter, power reserve is great, and the functionality is terrific. I also like the tachometer dial along with the bezel…not too busy. Thanks!

Wearing the new Chronomat 42 on my wrist right now. The polarizing design is absolutely stunning and it’s my favorite watch in my rotation right now. The brand has never been stronger or more desired 💪

Good to see Breitling getting recognized. I own two and love wearing them.

I've had my Chronomat B01 42mm Gold for over a year and I am still in love the same way I fell the first time I had it on my wrist. So unique it is a definitely worth to have.

Nailed it again, Teddy. I was looking at the green face Chronomat a few weeks ago. I liked it much more when I saw it in the metal. I have the B01 in my Premier and it is a fantastic piece of design and reliability. Breitling have taken a battering over the last few years, but are we now seeing the rise back to where they belong. Yes, I think we are and deservedly so in my opinion.

I'm an owner and this Chronomat B01 is a keeper. Comfortable to wear and can be worn at the beach or just about anywhere. Great review.

I’m loving what Breitling are doing lately. This being one that was a bit outlandish for my personal tastes at first, I seem to be coming to terms with. You couldn’t go wrong with this well engineered piece.

Love the way Breitling changed this up from the previous version- smaller, different but cool bracelet. This is now my grail watch. Having a Superocean II, and having just purchased an Aqua Terra this year, getting this Chronomat would round out my collection nicely, on the luxury end.

This almost caught my eye until I tried it on and wow!! It pops fits great and gets attention amazing timepiece

This is one of the best, if not the best Breitling in recent decades. Happy to say I own it.

Love this watch. Perfect balance on the design and nice movement.

Happy to see the new direction Breitling is taking. Less polished chrome bracelets and oversized watches. Great intro too teddy with the history of the watch 👏

Just got this one and I’m impressed with the look, comfort and accuracy so far. Rock solid construction.

I'm really interested in the Chronomat 36. Just seems like a fantastic every day watch. Thin, unique and retro.

I have the copper dial version. Most comfortable watch I've ever worn with that rouleaux bracelet. Love it.

Honestly, Breitling watches never really matched my taste when i looked at watches in that pricerange, the Navitimer is too cluttered and the divers just didnt feel right. This looks like a really cool watch that i would definetly try out in a boutique.

Bought this exact watch weeks ago, that panda dial really makes it distinct from any other watches. Super tough and comfortable for daily wear too, what a fantastic piece of watch!

Went into the store looking for a speedy but felt in love with this watch with a blue dial, love it so far

As somebody who likes shiny things, and started his entire interest in watches buying '90s Seiko chronographs, this watch ticks every single box for me, I absolutely love it.

It's a refreshing offering by Breitling and thankfully less busy then Navitimer. I would definitely consider it, but if I had to pick my first choice would be the Superocean Heritage II just with date complication, possibly the Chronograph in blue

Breitling is on an upward trajectory, this watch is awesome. Just need to make a smaller option and a thinner one to really seal the deal.

The chronograph + uni directional elapsed time bezel is such a great combo (especially with the lumed sub dial hands)

Breiltling is BACK..

Was not a fan when this model was introduced, trying it out for fun in store this silver dial model really impress me and start having an urge wanting it. That is why I am here to checkout reviews. It is def a piece you can’t see images and make presumption judgement, in store exp might change your mind. I am now a fan.

Great review. I went to my AD last weekend to check out the new Speedy and saw this exact watch. I’ve had a long standing love affair with Breitling and was initially disappointed with this new Chronomat. I don’t like the bracelet pins, the lack of micro adjustment, the deletion of the traditional Breitling wings and the new bracelet sort of turned me off in pics. However, seeing the watch in the metal, it struck me in a completely different way. It’s really quite amazing. So much so that I bought it. I’ve been wearing it every day on bracelet and now on rubber for the weekend. I have to say it has received more compliments than just about any other watch I own. It is surprisingly comfortable on the bracelet, even considering the lack of micro adjustment. I have it sized just slightly larger than I normally would to allow for summer swelling of the wrist during the day, and the weight of that solid bracelet balances the watch head extremely well, making for a very comfy wearing experience. Each day I like it a little more. It’s really a great piece. I do wish they would have rolled this out perhaps as a “Heritage“ edition and kept the old Chronomat with the wings and five-link bracelet... I really love the previous versions and I’m sad to see them go. For those who feel the same, if you ignore the fact that this is a replacement and consider it as a whole new watch, you begin to appreciate it for what it is. This is a great looking and wearing piece and I think will appeal to a large customer base. While I was initially fooled and disliked this piece, I’ve changed my mind and now welcome this model into my collection. Well done Breitling.

Hi Teddy just want to say I love your channel ,I cant stand watching other watch channels yours is the best on here.your a great guy you never trash brands your a great speaker and a down to earth guy . I'm a watch collector and I love your videos keep up the great work. So many watch channels are only promoting one brand I like your honesty and opinions and diversity.

This is a handsome watch in my estimation Something I’ll definitely wear.I love it! Thank you for shedding some light on its history too

This watch looks amazing. Tried it in a boutique and it looks even better. Only problem - too chunky and heavy for my taste. If they make it slightly smaller and lighter - I’d wear it every day. Ok, every other day in a rotation :))

Try this on and you will be in love. The bracelet itself feels and looks full of character in person!!

I love the Chronomat. I honestly think it is my favorite modern Breitling.

I have loved this watch since the new version first came out.

I have the Bentley green dial version of this watch. I really like the looks of it. Its a comfortable watch to wear too.

Thank you for this review, I have been seriously considering purchasing one.

I love this new Chronomat and i hope to acquire one soon.

Love the Chronomat! That bracelet is absolutely beautiful!

Very interesting! I have a Chronomat that I picked up back around ‘85. It’s a 40mm case, silver dial with gold accents (crown, pushers, bezel screws and tabs) and a black leather strap. It’s a great timepiece but I think I like the cleaner look of the later editions as shown in your video. It’s a definite attention getter.

Thank you Teddy, like I always said, your knowledge on time pieces is amazing, you did it again. I don't have a crono of that caliper on my collection, something to think about since is imposible to get a Daytona. 😉

i saw the green face one and it is definitely stunning!

Great video as always Teddy. Very interesting piece this. Can’t say I’ve given it more ch notice in the past. But it really does have something about it, as an everyday watch. It’s pretty cool.

This watch is stunning. I was going to update my older 3573.50 Moonwatch with the new 3861 caliber version but I have changed my mind. I hear nothing but praise for the reliability this B01 mvmt and I’m tired of servicing the Omega every 3 years, plus I want something I can actually go to the beach with. I love rubber straps and this thing is a strap monster. I’m won over.

Wearing the ice blue version with the black rubber strap and I love it! Only watch in my collection that gets noticed.

I love this watch, especially with the blue dial, I just have always felt it was too big for my wrist.

Gorgeous looking watch. Thank you for review.

Beautiful piece - I’m thinking of getting the platinum blue dial with the rubber strap …

I never considered a Breitling in the past, because they were not my style, but in the last years the brand went out with some interesting and beautiful models, so now I think that a Breitling would be a great piece in my collection. Maybe in the future one will join my other pieces.

Breitling is pure class.

I bought the Bentley green at my local dealer this summer, after a long wait on my pre-ordered Tudor Panda that failed it’s promised delivery date. To be brutally honest, I was not a fan of Breitling design in general, but something about this Chronomat that attracted me enough to pay MSRP for it (I know it’s stupid). But I do not regret it. In fact, the more I wear it, the less I would think about the panda. It is rugged and accurate, and it’s my only Breitling and I love it.

I just bought one, gold/ss in 44mm. Nice blend of sporty and dressy.

I own the Breitling Chronomat 41 AB0144 - which for me is a perfect Breitling. Smaller case, black canvas strap takes away from the Polished case, and brushed bezel really puts it in a sweet spot for me.

I saw this watch with the steel case, platinum bezel, and ice blue dial. SHEEEEEEEEEESH, it is a beautiful watch in person and I think I am going to get it.

I love it, they have a green dial that is stunning. Jomo shop had them at 30% off, I should have jumped on it for that price 😳

Beautiful watch from Breightling.

The two tone, grey dial, B01 will be my next watch.

Good timing on this review! I was looking at buying this soon!

I am not a fan if breitlink brand!!! But this new timepiece intriqued me i a really good way!!! Great job teddy!!!

Same here, totally hated this when it was released but it's definitely grown on me. I really like the bracelet now but I call it the 'Bamboo' bracelet. have this on my list as possible Chronos

I just got the stainless/18kt gold version, I love it! I had sticker shock the 1st couple of days though.

This is how you integrate a datewheel in a chronograph! Are you listening Zenith?!

Excellent review Teddy. Great attention to detail. IMO, Breitling is super under valued if you compare it with rolex. In terms of quality, this model goes head to head with the Daytona.

The Aerospace is also pretty cool. I'm partial to the analogy/digital.👍🏽✌🏽

Teddy, nice review, thank you!

I think this watch is beautiful and as a child of the 70's/80's perhaps it appeals to me more. I honestly don't think of it as "retro" styling though. Perhaps I just love Breitling? My personal favorite is the blue face version of this but they are all stunning in my opinion. Now to find the funds 😎

I love the look! I think there is a green variant that is fire! Edit: the bracelet is fire!

Nice review, Teddy, thank you 🙂👍

Fits your wrist perfectly.

Thanks!

Try this on at a Breitling store in south Nashville Tennessee and I automatically said this is a boss watch

I love it... it's a statement piece, interesting, and connotes "man of action." I suspect it wouldn't be the most comfortable accessory, but I also wouldn't see it as a daily driver.

I am a very big fan of the older chronomat and I do like the new model.

Nice review, thanks. Can you please also cover the 40mm GMT variant?

Big fan of that bracelet.

Love the bracelet ,and would prefer the 36 case and dial in a 40-42 case slimmer than the Chronomat

Have one, love it.

I’d love to see what it looks like on my wrist! It’s bold for sure!

Great video Teddy Bulbasaur 🍃

Breitling is doing good job !

Hi Teddy, just sold my non date Sub and took the Chronomat in part ex, its the Bentley green model and even though I have a collection of ten watches I haven't taken the Chronomat off since I acquired it. As you said, the bracelet takes some time to size it correctly but once done it is incredibly comfortable to wear. Overall, I'm very impressed. Great videos Teddy, regards, Vaughan

So much better looking than the previous Chronomat B01 44.

That is a very nice timepiece.

will the bezel be a scratch magnet like the cartier santos?

This watch is pretty solid. Not bad!

I love the bracelet 😍

I Considered this one as i was searching for my first expensive Watch. But seeing as the SuperChrono with the small Dial in the Bracelet is almost 10k or over i decided on the Seamaster Diver 300 Chrono...

Teddy, would you wear this as part of your daily collection? it's pretty big for a wrist size like yours

First impressions? I like this watch. It's interesting. Like you, I have smaller wrists, so I'm not certain it'd fit, but it seemed ok on you, so maybe I can wear it. I'm just starting my watch collection, and a chronograph is one I'd like to get. I was browsing your site for chronographs and the Longines Chronograph Sunray blue dial caught my attention.

I Love everything about this watch

I have one from the nineties still runs and work great,the new ones don't look that bad.i like the size of my original 38mm

I have an older Chronomat on a leather strap that I like. A 38-39mm version of this new one at a lower price point would be nice. 42mm and $8k is a deal killer for me.

Agree just about 100% Teddy. As you say a bit polarising but that's a good thing - better than something bland that plays it safe. Just the thing for the right person. We share our wrist size and for me this is a bit big but if you get it with this style and you can pull it off then a more interesting choice than the usual suspects. A good 'un from Breitling.

This is my dream watch

i'm totally in love with the 36 three hander. i find it perfect designwise, classy with a tad of sportiness and more personality than, say, an Omega AT or the kinda boring Datejust. the dimension is great to wear it with shirt and suit. the only drawback is the movement and power reserve, but i really have to fight my credit card back to the wallet everytime i see it. really hope they'll put out a reasonably sized and tastefully designed GMT soon...

The fact the Breitling is specifically marketing the Chronomat 36 as a womens watch rather than a unisex one is absolutely baffling to me...One of the most striking watches I've seen in person recently. Come on Breitling!

Haven’t been interested in Breitling until your review here... gets me thinking 🤔

Breitling wasn’t in my favorite watches list, but this model makes a difference. Thank you for introduction Teddy!

As a kid of the 80s (and all time Seinfeld fan) I always had a soft spot for the Chronometer. Breitling movement is a big plus. But it looks way too big on your wrist and so it would on mine. What a shame.

Yes, i like it, i like it better than the navitimer to be honest, bracelet looks great too.

Probably the only Breitling model I like. They are usually too gaudy for my taste. But the chronomat looks to be tone down a bit with just enough flash.

this ones really cool looking tbh

This is a fantastic watch and the copper dial chronomat is just hot and a real attention grabbing flex piece. It is on my short list grail pieces
