Breitling Middle East has announced the launch of a Middle East edition timepiece exclusive to the region. Breitling’s Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 will be presented in a new special design that reflects the brand’s 140-year anniversary theme, and proudly features Indian numerals on the dial. The new Middle East Chronomat GMT 40 is a limited-edition timepiece with only 200 pieces available across the region.
Breitling has recently launched its 140th anniversary limited edition collection comprising of three iconic timepieces – the Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat all in black and red-gold and featuring the first B19 perpetual calendar chronograph movement. This special Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 similarly reflects the color palette of these anniversary editions in its striking black dial, complemented by 18k red gold-plated hour and minute hands and Indian numerals, and comes in Breitling’s iconic “rouleaux” bracelet in stainless steel.
Managing Director, Breitling Middle East, India and Africa, Aed Adwan commented: “As Breitling celebrates its 140th anniversary this year, we are proud to introduce a special edition of the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, designed exclusively for the vibrant and diverse Middle East market. Inspired by Breitling’s limited-edition anniversary timepieces, the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 offers a similar look and feel while adding a Middle Eastern touch with Indian numerals.”
The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 is Breitling’s tribute to travel, not only for its dual time zone complication, but also because of its aesthetics and practical size. As an all-purpose sports watch, it seamlessly transitions across Breitling’s air, land, and sea universes, making it a true “watch for every pursuit.”
Powered by the Breitling Caliber 32, the GMT complication features a 24-hour scale, allowing the user to easily track a second time zone and instantly distinguish between day and night. A classic Chronomat feature, the “onion” crown—named for its fluted-dome shape—enables smooth adjustments. Set in an all-steel case, this COSC-certified chronometer boasts an impressive 200m water resistance and offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
