On many of those Breitlings, you can swap the removable &#8220;15&#8221; and &#8220;45&#8221; tabs and thus switch the rotating bezel from a count-up bezel to countdown bezel. These tall rider tabs served another purpose, too: usability while wearing flight gloves. This dates back to the 1983 relaunch of the Breitling Chronomat, originally made for the Frecce Tricolori&#8211;the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. And over the years, there have been seven special Breitling models made with the distinctive three-color P.A.N. Frecce Tricolori logo on the dial. We&#8217;ll give you a quick rundown of all the Frecce Tricolori Breitling watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2.jpg\" alt=\"Breitling &quot;Frecce Tricolori&quot; Chronomat from 2020 (left), and Avenger from 2025 (right)\" class=\"wp-image-33140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Breitling &#8220;Frecce Tricolori&#8221; Chronomat from 2020 (left), and Avenger from 2025 (right).

They&#8217;re known for creating trails of green, white, and red smoke (the colors of the Italian flag) during their performances. They operate with ten jet aircraft, making them the largest military aerobatic team in the world. Let&#8217;s start by taking a look at the first Chronomat to bear their logo, which appeared only a few years after Ernest Schneider (owner of Sicura watches) bought the financially troubled <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/brands\/breitling\/\">Breitling<\/a><\/strong> in 1979 amid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/american-watch-industry-quartz-crisis\/\">quartz crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-original-breitling-chronomat-p-a-n-frecce-tricolori-1983\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-original-breitling-chronomat-pan-frecce-tricolori-1983\"><\/span>The Original Breitling Chronomat P.A.N. Frecce Tricolori (1983)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first prototype versions of the Breitling Chronomat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchuseek.com\/threads\/breitling-81950-chronomat-understanding-the-schneider-prototypes.5287457\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">81950<\/a> came about in 1983 as a result of Breitling&#8217;s then-new owner Mr. Schneider working with the Frecce Tricolori to develop a wristwatch with features and aesthetics that they would actually want in the air. He determined that pilots wanted a mechanical, analog chronograph with good legibility. There are the four large raised rider tabs on the bezel designed to be usable with flight gloves on, plus the inside of the rehaut features a 0-100 scale, which can be useful for math reasons. When navigating (or doing operations management, or any number of tasks) it&#8217;s easier to multiply &#8220;1.70 minutes&#8221; than &#8220;1 minute and 42 seconds.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/og-frecce-tricolori-chronomat-89150.jpg\" alt=\"The original Frecce Tricolori Breitling Chronomat\" class=\"wp-image-33095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/og-frecce-tricolori-chronomat-89150.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/og-frecce-tricolori-chronomat-89150-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/og-frecce-tricolori-chronomat-89150-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/og-frecce-tricolori-chronomat-89150-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The OG Chronomat that started it all. Although it looks bluish in some photos, that&#8217;s a black dial. Photo: Breitling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chronomat 81950 launched commercially in 1984 (without the P.A.N. logo) and it wouldn&#8217;t be crazy to call it the single most important reference in Breitling&#8217;s history. Keep in mind, back then, the future of luxury mechanical watches in general was looking pretty uncertain. But the success of the Chronomat set the stage for the Breitling brand we know today. The rider tabs and Rouleaux (bullet) bracelet are iconic parts of Breitling&#8217;s design language even now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also contributing to the Chronomat&#8217;s signature look are the 12 screws around the edge of the bezel. Note that there are some early versions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchuseek.com\/threads\/breitling-81950-chronomat-understanding-the-schneider-prototypes.5287457\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generally assumed to be prototypes<\/a>) that only have screws on the riders, meaning they lack the eight screws in between. Those &#8220;prototype&#8221; versions also have &#8220;Swiss Made&#8221; located outside of the bottom subdial rather than within, plus they have a different <a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VqWtkz5.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 o&#8217;clock marker with balls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, either version of the 81950 Frecce Tricolori Breitling Chronomat is extremely rare. The caseback says &#8220;Grupo P.A.N. No. 01 &#8211; Exclusive Series Specially Made For The 313\u00b0&#8221; on it, and they&#8217;re almost never seen at auction. I think the market up to this point has not fully appreciated the rarity of these, because they look so similar to the next (much more common) model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-second-generation-chronomat-1995\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"second-generation-chronomat-1995\"><\/span>Second-Generation Chronomat (1995)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The P.A.N. Frecce Tricolori edition of the Breitling Chronomat ref. <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/kl7P3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A13050.1<\/a> is essentially the same as the 81950, but with minor design tweaks. The chronograph seconds hand has a Breitling B as a counterweight, the Breitling logo is curved instead of straight, and the rider tab font changed slightly. The commemorative caseback still features a drawing of an Aermacchi MB-339A PAN, the aircraft flown by the Frecce Tricolori, but the text is different and no longer gold-filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This watch was most often fitted with Breitling&#8217;s then-new five-link bracelet instead of a Rouleaux bracelet. The biggest change was arguably the addition of a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250703130536\/https:\/\/www.markworthingtonjewellers.co.uk\/breitling-chronomat-yellow-dial-p-a-n-frecce-tricolori-limited-edition-of-4000.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yellow dial option<\/a>, though the vast majority have black dials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a13050.1-frecce-bogossia.com_-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aside from its bracelet, the A13050.1 above is very similar to the 81950.

Although the Frecci Tricolori team got their start in 1961, the Italian Air Force had officially begun designating fighter units to form aerobatic teams on a rotating basis in 1955. Naturally, another Frecce Tricolori Breitling model appeared ten years later for the 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chronomat-evolution-p-a-n-frecce-tricolori-2005\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"chronomat-evolution-pan-frecce-tricolori-2005\"><\/span>Chronomat Evolution P.A.N.

It features tall applied Arabic hour numerals and a larger 43.7mm case. That&#8217;s about it&#8211;it&#8217;s just bigger and has big shiny hour numerals. The movement is still the same, although the caseback now features engraved imagery of nine jets instead of just one. If you&#8217;re wondering &#8220;why nine?&#8221; it&#8217;s because the tenth jet doesn&#8217;t always fly in formation with the others&#8211;he&#8217;s a &#8220;soloist.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DF4IQ-qMoj2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Half of each subdial is textured with vertical striations, and the orange subdial hands were a loud choice. But 2012 was a loud time in the world of luxury watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"33105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/chronomat-44-frecce-the-oasisgallery-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Breitling Chronomat 44 P.A.N.

The biggest Breitling Frecce Tricolori model of all came in 2015, with a 46mm width, 16.43mm thickness, and 59mm lug-to-lug measurement. This thing is massive, but at least it&#8217;s made out of titanium to minimize weight. It has a pretty standard screwdown crown, instead of the onion crown seen on the Chronomat line. Aesthetically it&#8217;s similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/breitling-emergency\/#breitling-emergency-2-2013\">Breitling Emergency II<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/b50-cockpit-mfr-photo3.jpg\" alt=\"Breitling Cockpit B50 Frecce Tricolori shown in DLC-coated titanium\" class=\"wp-image-33231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/b50-cockpit-mfr-photo3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/b50-cockpit-mfr-photo3-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/b50-cockpit-mfr-photo3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/b50-cockpit-mfr-photo3-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Breitling Cockpit B50 Frecce Tricolori shown in DLC-coated titanium.

It&#8217;s also the only quartz one, featuring Breitling&#8217;s then-new in-house B50 SuperQuartz movement. Like every Breitling made since 1999, these are certified chronometers, and the chronometer standard for quartz watches is much more stringent than for mechanical ones (\u00b10.07 seconds per day vs. -4\/+6).

One charge should last at least three weeks for heavy users of the additional functions, while in time-only mode without alarms it could last as long as five months. Its proprietary USB charging cable has a magnetic connector, which is neat, but the more modern <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/V0HCv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">B70 watches<\/a> made today ditched the charging cord entirely in favor of a traditional battery. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if the charging cable was a tough sell for luxury buyers, but it is cool not to have to replace your battery every 2 years (the rechargeable ones should last at least ten years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chronomat-b01-42-frecce-tricolori-2020\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"chronomat-b01-42-frecce-tricolori-2020\"><\/span>Chronomat B01 42 Frecce Tricolori  (2020)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Frecce Tricolori version of the Chronomat B01 42 was the first one to be smaller than its predecessor.

The 3 o&#8217;clock subdial also gets some green and red accents. It&#8217;s interesting that Breitling chose to go with an Avenger rather than a Chronomat this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chronomat and Avenger lines are obviously very similar, but Chronomats are now only offered on Rouleaux bracelets or Rouleaux-like straps, while modern Avengers get more typical straps or a chunky three-link bracelet. Although it looks nylon like, this Avenger&#8217;s strap is actually calf leather. Also note that Avenger bezels are monochromatic and have numerals at every five minutes. Plus Avenger rehauts are slanted, and numbered to the typical 60 (instead of 100 as on the Chronomat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Avenger B01 Chronograph 42 Frecce Tricolori is a non-limited edition with a list price of $10,100, though you should be able to find it for a couple grand less.

On many of those Breitlings, you can swap the removable \"15\" and \"45\" tabs and thus switch the rotating bezel from a count-up bezel to countdown bezel. These tall rider tabs served another purpose, too: usability while wearing flight gloves. This dates back to the 1983 relaunch of the Breitling Chronomat, originally made for the Frecce Tricolori--the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. And over the years, there have been seven special Breitling models made with the distinctive three-color P.A.N. Frecce Tricolori logo on the dial. We'll give you a quick rundown of all the Frecce Tricolori Breitling watches.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":33140,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/breitling-frecce-header2.jpg\" alt=\"Breitling &quot;Frecce Tricolori&quot; Chronomat from 2020 (left), and Avenger from 2025 (right)\" class=\"wp-image-33140\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Breitling \"Frecce Tricolori\" Chronomat from 2020 (left), and Avenger from 2025 (right).

They're known for creating trails of green, white, and red smoke (the colors of the Italian flag) during their performances. They operate with ten jet aircraft, making them the largest military aerobatic team in the world. Let's start by taking a look at the first Chronomat to bear their logo, which appeared only a few years after Ernest Schneider (owner of Sicura watches) bought the financially troubled <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/brands\/breitling\/\">Breitling<\/a><\/strong> in 1979 amid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/american-watch-industry-quartz-crisis\/\">quartz crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-original-breitling-chronomat-p-a-n-frecce-tricolori-1983\">The Original Breitling Chronomat P.A.N.

He determined that pilots wanted a mechanical, analog chronograph with good legibility. There are the four large raised rider tabs on the bezel designed to be usable with flight gloves on, plus the inside of the rehaut features a 0-100 scale, which can be useful for math reasons. When navigating (or doing operations management, or any number of tasks) it's easier to multiply \"1.70 minutes\" than \"1 minute and 42 seconds.\"<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":33095,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurybazaar.com\/grey-market\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/og-frecce-tricolori-chronomat-89150.jpg\" alt=\"The original Frecce Tricolori Breitling Chronomat\" class=\"wp-image-33095\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The OG Chronomat that started it all. Although it looks bluish in some photos, that's a black dial. Photo: Breitling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Chronomat 81950 launched commercially in 1984 (without the P.A.N. logo) and it wouldn't be crazy to call it the single most important reference in Breitling's history. Keep in mind, back then, the future of luxury mechanical watches in general was looking pretty uncertain. But the success of the Chronomat set the stage for the Breitling brand we know today. The rider tabs and Rouleaux (bullet) bracelet are iconic parts of Breitling's design language even now.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Also contributing to the Chronomat's signature look are the 12 screws around the edge of the bezel. Note that there are some early versions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchuseek.com\/threads\/breitling-81950-chronomat-understanding-the-schneider-prototypes.5287457\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generally assumed to be prototypes<\/a>) that only have screws on the riders, meaning they lack the eight screws in between. Those \"prototype\" versions also have \"Swiss Made\" located outside of the bottom subdial rather than within, plus they have a different <a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VqWtkz5.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 o'clock marker with balls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Regardless, either version of the 81950 Frecce Tricolori Breitling Chronomat is extremely rare. The caseback says \"Grupo P.A.N. No. 01 - Exclusive Series Specially Made For The 313\u00b0\" on it, and they're almost never seen at auction. I think the market up to this point has not fully appreciated the rarity of these, because they look so similar to the next (much more common) model.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-second-generation-chronomat-1995\">Second-Generation Chronomat (1995)<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The P.A.N.

The chronograph seconds hand has a Breitling B as a counterweight, the Breitling logo is curved instead of straight, and the rider tab font changed slightly. The commemorative caseback still features a drawing of an Aermacchi MB-339A PAN, the aircraft flown by the Frecce Tricolori, but the text is different and no longer gold-filled.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This watch was most often fitted with Breitling's then-new five-link bracelet instead of a Rouleaux bracelet.

The movement is still the same, although the caseback now features engraved imagery of nine jets instead of just one.

The 3 o'clock subdial also gets some green and red accents. It's interesting that Breitling chose to go with an Avenger rather than a Chronomat this time around.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Chronomat and Avenger lines are obviously very similar, but Chronomats are now only offered on Rouleaux bracelets or Rouleaux-like straps, while modern Avengers get more typical straps or a chunky three-link bracelet. Although it looks nylon like, this Avenger's strap is actually calf leather. Also note that Avenger bezels are monochromatic and have numerals at every five minutes. Plus Avenger rehauts are slanted, and numbered to the typical 60 (instead of 100 as on the Chronomat).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Avenger B01 Chronograph 42 Frecce Tricolori is a non-limited edition with a list price of $10,100, though you should be able to find it for a couple grand less.
