Breitling Launch NEW Chronomat 36 Ladies South Sea Collection
Tuesday - 16 March 2021
Dressed in breathtaking coloured gemstones, rose gold appliques and exotic alligator leather straps, the new Breitling Chronomat Ladies South Sea watch collection is the Swiss watch manufacturer’s latest offering for women. The three models, each inspired by their own intoxicating element of nature, are part of a capsule collection so will only be available for a limited time.
Breitling have demonstrated a real focus on their luxury ladies watch collections over the past twelve months. It all started with the Navitimer 35 and the Superocean 36 early last year followed by their well-received Chronomat 32 and 36 collections. The Superocean 36 was designed for women of adventure with high water resistant cases while the Navitimer 35 became an essential dress watch for ladies of elegance. The Breitling Chronomat Ladies has since sat nicely between the two, providing a sporty yet chic aesthetic that fits in just as well on a beach as it does at dinner. The new Breitling Chronomat 36 South Sea collection follows suit, but this time delivering a much more exotic and colourful aesthetic.
CASE
Each of the three Breitling Chronomat 36 Ladies South Sea watches have their own unique personality dressed in colours inspired by nature but all are identical in their case size, movement and functionality. Just as their name suggests, the Breitling ladies watches measure to 36mm in diameter and are beautifully engineered from polished stainless steel. Characteristic of the Chronomat collection is the unidirectional ratcheted bezel which has now been transformed for the first time with an array of coloured gemstones. The gemstones vary from pink to red, orange to yellow and deliver an utterly breathtaking finish on every design.
The case of the Breitling Chronomat South Sea watch also comes equipped with a non-screw locked crown with two gaskets and a solid screwed case back to assist in a 100 metre water resistant rating. On top and to protect the dial is cambered sapphire crystal glass, a material renowned for its scratch resistant properties. The glass is also treated with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides for effortless legibility.
MOVEMENT
Just as we’ve come to expect from Breitling, the Chronomat Ladies South Sea watches are equipped with COSC-certified movements tested by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute and considered accurate to -4 to +6 seconds per day. The Breitling Calibre 10 automatic winding movement is based on the ETA 2892-A2 and delivers classic central hands for hours, minutes and seconds and a date window at 6 o’clock. The Swiss made movement also promises a 42 hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.
DIAL
While the specs so far have been the same in all three Breitling Chronomat South Sea watches, it is the lacquered dials and straps that make them stand out. Each dial design takes inspiration from a different aspect of nature dressed in matching rose gold appliques and hands and diamond set hour markers. The first ladies watch under reference A10380611A1P1 boasts a pinkish beige dial inspired by the pastel shades of summer. The second under reference A10380611C1P1 has a stunning deep blue dial designed to evoke marine life and the third reference, and possibly our favourite, is the model A10380611L1P1 dressed in mint green suggestive of lush greenery. All variations are finished with Superluminova coating on the hands and indexes for instant legibility in all lighting conditions.
STRAP
To pair with their retrospective dial colours, each Breitling Chronomat 36 Ladies South Sea watch in a matching alligator leather strap. The pink dial is combined with an identical beige alligator strap, the blue dial with a navy blue strap and the mint green dial with a darker khaki green leather strap. Each strap is complemented by matching coloured stitching and a stainless steel folding buckle signed off by the iconic Breitling logo.
