DescriptionThe Breitling Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 (Ref. A32398101A1A1) is a self-winding mechanical timepiece driven by the Breitling Caliber 32, renowned for its dependability and accuracy. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring smooth hand movement and precise timekeeping, further enhanced by its 21 jewel bearings which minimize friction. With a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, this watch can maintain its functionality even when not in constant motion. A key feature of the Caliber 32 is the integrated GMT complication, providing a second time zone display on a 24-hour scale, crucial for frequent travelers or those dealing with international time zones.

Encased in robust stainless steel, the Chronomat GMT 40 boasts a 40.0 mm diameter case, striking a balance between presence on the wrist and everyday wearability. Its 11.77 mm thickness contributes to its streamlined profile, ensuring comfort even under a cuff. The watch's construction prioritizes durability and functionality, featuring a screwed-in caseback and a screw-locked crown with two gaskets, ensuring water resistance up to an impressive 200 meters (660 feet), making it suitable for various aquatic activities. Its unidirectional ratcheted rotating bezel allows for safe timing of dives or other events. A cambered sapphire crystal, glareproofed on both sides, protects the dial while providing exceptional clarity and scratch resistance. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet, further enhancing its robust and refined character. With a total weight of 153.0 grams and a watch-head weight of 75.2 grams, the Chronomat GMT 40 offers a substantial feel without being cumbersome.
