Hi all,
I'm new to this site and a beginner enthusiast for Breitlings. However, browsing some topics through the forum I can't help but notice the lack of Chronomat Evolution owners as compared to all other lines. I'm asking because I've laid eyes on a Chrono Evo I'd like to purchase, but I'm a little hesitant on pulling the trigger since it doesn't seem as popular among Breitling owners?

Open to all feedback!! Cheers!

It's actually the biggest seller in recent years. The current trend for larger watches is seeing the Super Avenger and Avenger Skyland in particular become more popular but the Chronomat Evolution (now renamed just Chronomat) is a very good, very popular piece. In particular it has just about the largest combination of cases and dials of any Breitling.

BreitlinGuy,

Don't be swayed by what is popular in terms of sales today the Chrono Evo is an amazing watch and you cant go wrong with that purchase especially if its got your attention.

I have Chronomat Evolution and although I dont wear it everyday (its just too darn pretty!), I love it. It has everything a new Breitling owner would want short of a cartoon size case!

Dont decide without strapping one on your wrist. The EVO is a fine watch.

If by that you mean the Chronomat is a little on the small size, then yes it is! :wink: :lol:

No in all seriousness, I'd agree the Chronomat is a very nice watch indeed and I would certainly own one myself, but unfortunately I have reasonably large wrists and after wearing the Bentleys it's just not big enough for me. I guess it's all down to what you are used to.

If Breitling don't start looking into bringing out a larger version I may have to do what Aleister did and just buy one anyway! They are that nice!

And yes, the only way to know how it will look is to try 'em on! Never buy without the try!

Yes, buying one is a good alternative. And as stated by Driver, I wish it was a wee bit bigger - maybe the next model of it... :)

The Chronomat is a great watch and you can't go wrong with it. Just try it and you'll see!
