Breitling Chronomat Evolution 43 Steel A13356/C645 - 2010

Breitling Chronomat Evolution Ref. A13356/C645

The Breitling Chronomat Evolution with reference A13356 and dial code C645 from 2010 is the ultimate symbol of masculine presence, uncompromising functionality, and the unwavering aviation DNA of the Breitling brand. As an evolution of the classic Chronomat – which helped save mechanical watchmaking in 1984 – the "Evolution" generation brought significant upgrades in size, feel, and detail. With this reference, combining a deep blue dial with silver subdials, Breitling created one of the most expressive, sporty luxury Chronographs of the early 21st century. A watch for men who appreciate a true statement on the wrist.

• The striking, high-polished 43.7 mm case: Made from high-strength, flawlessly polished stainless steel, this model with a diameter of almost 44 mm and a substantial height of 17 mm has a monumental presence on the wrist. The softly curved flanks ensure a surprisingly ergonomic wearing comfort despite the dimensions.

• The iconic bezel with riders: The unidirectional rotating bezel is equipped with the characteristic four Breitling riders at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. These not only protect the glass but also allow pilots to easily operate the bezel while wearing thick flight gloves. The bezel screws along the edge emphasize the instrumental character.

• The sporty “Panda dial” in marine blue (C645): The absolute visual highlight is the deep blue dial with fine guilloché in the center. The three silver subdials for the Chronograph functions at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock create a breathtaking contrast. The watch face is refined by three-dimensional applied Arabic numerals and the proud, winged Breitling logo in solid Gold.

• The highly precise Chronograph caliber Breitling 13: Inside works the extremely robust and reliable caliber Breitling 13 (based on the legendary Valjoux 7750). The mechanical movement is COSC chronometer-certified, offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, and guarantees absolutely precise short-time measurement in tough everyday use.

• Professional tachymeter scale: The slanted flange (rehaut) of the dial is equipped with a fine tachymeter scale. Together with the central red chronograph seconds hand, average speeds can be determined in no time.

• Uncompromising professional diving performance: Thanks to the screw-down pushers with special flank protection, the distinctive onion crown, and the solid case back, this pilot Chronograph is extremely durable and offers an impressive water resistance of up to 300 meters (30 ATM).

• Double anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal: An extremely robust, domed Sapphire Crystal protects the dial. Due to the double-sided, highly efficient anti-reflective coating, the glass appears almost invisible under almost any light incidence, guaranteeing flawless readability.

• The legendary pilot bracelet: The Chronograph is worn on the famous five-row pilot stainless steel bracelet with the characteristic, diagonally positioned links. It is still considered one of the most elaborate and comfortable metal bracelets in watch history and is secured by a robust safety folding clasp.

• A timeless icon (vintage 2010): As a late model of this reference from 2010, this Chronomat Evolution represents the absolute heyday of the distinctive, masculine Breitling design. A masterfully crafted piece of watch history with high recognition value and unwavering character.
