Luxury Swiss watchmaker and aviation chronograph specialist Breitling officially launched its Chronomat 44 Blacksteel Special Edition in Bahrain during a special event at the Breitling Boutique Manama.

Launched in collaboration with Breitling’s local retail partner, Yaquby Stores, the new Chronomat 44 Blacksteel Special Edition features a black steel case, yellow dial, tried and trusted sturdiness and a high-performance Breitling Manufacture movement.

The Breitling Chronomat model ‘lands’ in Bahrain with a new face in a special edition which embodies a technical and masculine style. The satin-brushed steel case and bezel stand out by their black carbon-based high-resistance treatment creating a powerful contrast with the yellow dial - Breitling’s signature colour.

The originality of the model continues on the transparent sapphire crystal caseback which allows the black oscillating weight and chronometer-certified movement to be viewed, as well as on the two-tone rubber TwinPro strap combining a black exterior with a yellow lining, the company said.

The case of the model is water-resistant to 200 m/660 ft. While the screw-lock crown and safety pushpieces form a wall against any water infiltration and are protected against shocks. The unidirectional rotating bezel with black rubber-inlaid numerals is equipped with four polished rider tabs serving to measure times as well as facilitating handling for the user.

Aed Adwan of Breitling Middle East said: “While its new look is especially striking, the Chronomat 44 Blacksteel Special Edition has all the technical qualities that have made the Chronomat the ultimate chronograph and a loyal companion of pilots all over the world. With the Middle East being such a renowned global aviation hub celebrating the launch of the Chronomat in Bahrain with our partner Yaquby Stores makes perfect sense.”  - TradeArabia News Service
