In November 2020, as Robb Report recorded, the Chronomat 36 and 32 became the first Chronomats designed for women, and Charlize Theron wore a diamond-bezel Chronomat 36 at the launch. This reference carries that line in its jewelled form: the Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 ref. U10380101A2U1.
Its four raised rider tabs began as a pilot's solution, guarding a recessed crystal from cockpit canopies. On this reference they stand in polished 18k red gold on a ratcheted, rotating bezel, eleven round diamond indices are set into natural mother-of-pearl, and inside beats a COSC-certified chronometer, so the gem-set dial is matched by certified precision.
The Chronomat's standing is well documented. Watches by SJX credits it with much of Breitling's success after the quartz crisis and calls it arguably one of the pioneering luxury sports chronographs. WatchTime reports that the 2026 Chronomat Automatic 36 adopted a fixed bezel, which makes the turning rider-tab bezel here a closed chapter of the 36's story.
Graded Excellent and accompanied by its original Breitling warranty papers, this is a pilot's icon at an elegant, everyday scale: a first-generation Chronomat 36 from the first women's Chronomat line, and a chronometer to wear and to keep.

Every timepiece offered by Luxepolis, including this Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36, undergoes a rigorous ownership and provenance review before being presented for sale. We verify the seller's identity, review available supporting documentation and seek to establish lawful and traceable ownership wherever reasonably possible.
Seller transactions are conducted through registered banking channels and are supported by executed agreements, PAN verification, government-issued identification and ownership declarations. Reference and serial details are reviewed where available. The original Breitling warranty papers supplied with this watch may support the review, while no single document is relied upon in isolation.
As an additional safeguard, Luxepolis screens watches against recognised independent stolen-watch registers and recovery databases. Where available and appropriate, checks may also be conducted through manufacturer-operated stolen-watch or ownership-verification programmes. Since no single global register records every luxury watch, database screening forms one important part of Luxepolis' broader ownership-verification process.

Step into the world of Breitling — an emblem of precision, aviation heritage and technical mastery since 1884. Luxepolis brings certified pre‑owned Breitling watches to India with trust, exclusivity, and up to 70% off retail. Whether you’re seeking a vintage Navitimer or a rugged Superocean, discover enduring style and expert authentication under one roof.
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint‑Imier, Switzerland, Breitling pioneered the wrist chronograph in 1915 and introduced the dual‑pusher chronograph in 1934. The iconic Navitimer debuted in 1952 with its circular slide rule for pilots. In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter wore a Navitimer Cosmonaute—the first Swiss wristwatch in space. Breitling co‑developed the first automatic chronograph movement in 1969 and later launched its in‑house Calibre B01 in 2009. Under CEO Georges Kern since 2017, the brand has balanced bold aviation DNA with modern inclusivity and sustainability. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
