Record status
Individual type · partial
The Breitling Chronomat Longitude A20048 is a robust stainless steel chronograph wristwatch designed with a functional and technical aesthetic. It features a black dial adorned with Arabic numeral hour markers and a convenient date aperture positioned at the 3 o'clock mark.
The watch face integrates three subsidiary dials for chronograph timing functions, while the rotating bezel provides additional utility. The dial is clearly signed with the manufacturer's name, "Breitling 1884." The stainless steel case measures 39 millimeters in diameter. On the reverse, the case back is marked with a distinctive globe motif and carries the inscriptions "Manufacture en Suisse," "Chronographe Longitude," and "100m," referencing its water-resistance capacity.
This timepiece is presented on a brown leather strap, consistent with professional chronograph watch design. The combination of technical markings, high-contrast numerals, and specialized sub-dials reflects the specialized aviation-inspired horology for which the Breitling brand is internationally recognized. The watch serves as a sophisticated example of modern sports chronographs produced by the storied Swiss firm.
