I've had my share of Chronomat\Windrider watches, but I think this one is as near the perfect choice as I'm going to get.

I found this one from a very good Greek seller via Chrono24. It was sold as NOS, came fully boxed with all paperwork and the latest digital warranty card valid for 2yrs.

I have to say that for a 14yr old watch the condition is better than you might think for a high polished Breitling, yes there is the odd hairline on the bracelet, but nothing that would not appear after a weeks ownership from new.

This model is the Chronomat GT, which is slightly larger than some of the first Chronomat's and this one comes in at 40.5mm without the crown, it features the Ref: A13350 COSC Movement and is so far keeping good time.

The Chronomat GT is recognizable by the extra thick bezel that surrounds the subdials, it also has the extremely comfortable 20mm Pilot bracelet.

Anyway, here are the photos of the watch, please feel free to have your say.

Very nice pick up. And I think the AD is very pleased as well that it is finally sold after 14 years...

Wow, a NOS Chronomat GT! Incredible to think it this has been hiding away for so long. I guess this really shows that there's always hope of finding pieces out there. Great pick-up!

A very nice looking Chronomat. I agree with all comments but I think Wim is spot on. The AD will be vary pleased to finally part with his store guest for the past 14 years. Ha ha. Amazing.
