 
Premier watch manufacturers Breitling have recently announced the release of a very special series of the world renowned Chronomat range, the Chronomat 44 Raven. The Breitling Chronomat series are renowned as supreme instruments for professionals, and in actual fact this assemblage will be celebrating its 30th birthday this year. Indeed, the Chronomat family has long since been established as a force to be reckoned with among all mechanical chronographs, and it has been honoured in such a fashion since its initial launch back in 1984.
This new entry to the range definitely does not fail to impress, following closely in the footsteps of its much respected predecessors. However, the Chronomat 44 Raven reinvents the original look of the pilots chronograph in many respects, boasting a unique look, an undeniable focus upon performance, and a distinctly more sporty and technical appearance.
The Chronomat 44 Raven has a truly masculine style and feel, and is irrefutably original as a consequence of its unique aesthetics. Its satin brushed black steel case is covered in a high resistance carbon based coating, and this black exterior is punctuated by orange inlaid numerals that are featured on the unidirectional rotating bezel; an adornment which provides a powerful colour contrast for maximum legibility. These orange accents are also featured on a number of other components too, including the inner bezel and chronograph seconds hands, greatly enhancing the style and distinct appearance of these watches. Additionally, a surprise is to be found in the form of a black oscillating weight, enhanced by orange markings, and visible through a transparent case back.
Like all Breitling watches, the Chronomat 44 Raven comes fully equipped with a self winding movement that is certified by the Swiss official chronometer testing institute, the highest standard of reliability and precision, making the Chronomat 44 Raven unparalleled when it comes to performance.
The Chronomat 44 Raven is quintessentially Breitling in all respects, embodying their philosophy perfectly whilst combining this approach with a strong and unique design. All the performance features you would expect from a professional instrument of this calibre are also present, including precision, durability, functionality and, of course, water resistance.
In every area, the Chronomat 44 Raven is ideally engineered for performance, being water resistant up to depths of 200m and possessing an absolutely exceptional power reserve of over 70 hours. Significantly, the Chronomat 44 Raven is also perfectly adapted for optimum functionality, and its 44mm case is glare-proofed on both sides for ease of use. All told, these small details add up to ensure that the Chronomat 44 Raven is designed to excel.
