Breitling Chronomat Ref. 81.950 – The Cult Aviation Icon with the "Rouleaux" Bracelet From Italian Pilots to Wrists In the midst of the quartz crisis of the 1980s, Breitling designed a special mechanical watch for the pilots of the Italian Air Force's aerobatic squadron, "Frecce Tricolori." The raised bezel lugs (rider tabs), developed for use even with gloves, became the model's signature. This Ref. 81.950 is that legendary first-generation modern Chronomat series that propelled Breitling to the pinnacle of luxury watchmaking. With its iconic "Rouleaux" (Bullet) bracelet featuring cylindrical links that elevate aviation aesthetics, it is a timeless investment highly sought after by collectors today. * Brand / Model: Breitling Chronomat * Reference Number: 81.950 * Production Period: 1984 - 1990 * Movement: Automatic Chronograph, Valjoux 7750 based (Breitling Caliber 13) * Case Material: Stainless Steel, Gold Tone Details (Two-Tone) * Case Diameter: ~39 mm (excluding crown) * Dial: White/cream dial with triple sub-dial layout, date window at 3 o'clock * Bezel: Unidirectional rotating aviation bezel with 4 gold "Rider Tab" details * Glass: Sapphire Crystal * Bracelet: Genuine Steel/ "Rouleaux" (Bullet/Roller) Strap * Bracelet size: 18/18.5 * Box and invoice not available Your shipment will be sent safely and quickly by FedEx, DHL or UPS.
