Breitling Chrono-Matic 2110

Breitling Chrono-Matic – ref. 2110

Breitling Chrono-Matic ref. 2110: automatic chronograph from the 1960s with a 40 mm steel case, black aluminum bezel, white dial with contrasting counters and date at 6 o’clock. Excellent condition, automatic movement cal. 11/12 with left‑hand crown, black leather strap with orange stitching. The watch is guaranteed for 12 months for proper functioning. The Chrono-Matic is not just a chronograph: it is a symbol of the race for innovation that in the 1960s led to the birth of the first automatic calibers with chronograph function. This piece, ref. 2110, perfectly represents that historic moment: a 40 mm steel case with a sporty character, black rotating bezel with an aluminum insert and a red triangle at 12 o’clock, and above all a white dial with black and red sub‑dials in a perfect “reverse panda” style, readable and full of energy. The applied bar indices, the black hands filled with bright red, and the long orange seconds chronograph hand tell the racing spirit and the bold graphics typical of Breitling in the late 1960s. The date window at 6 o’clock, with red numerals, adds an extra touch of personality. Inside beats the automatic caliber 11/12, the result of the famous consortium that revolutionised watchmaking by introducing one of the first automatic chronographs in history. A movement that is not only mechanical but a testimony to an epoch‑defining technological challenge. The distinctive detail, for true connoisseurs, is the left‑hand crown: a deliberate choice to highlight the automatic nature and break with the past. The black leather strap with orange stitching perfectly echoes the dial’s colour details, creating a coherent, sporty, and immediately striking ensemble. The steel deployant clasp completes the bold yet elegant look. The condition is excellent: the case is well preserved, the bezel retains its freshness, the dial is clean and the plexiglass is clear. Not accompanied by a box or original documents, but 100 % authentic and kept in splendid shape. The Chrono-Matic ref. 2110 is a collectible icon, a time machine that tells the years when mechanical watchmaking sought new challenges. A piece that every vintage chronograph enthusiast dreams of having in their collection.
