What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36

Owners widely praise the Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 for its comfortable 36mm case size, excellent fit and finish, and the unique appeal of its dials, with the blue and green variants frequently highlighted. The Rouleaux bracelet is consistently noted as very comfortable and a standout feature, connecting the watch to its Chronomat heritage, while the anti-reflective coating and color-matched date wheel enhance its visual appeal. Some owners find the styling slightly feminine, and its marketing as a ladies' line is questioned, though it is broadly seen as a versatile unisex option that fits well on smaller wrists. The $10,950 price is considered a stretch by one reviewer, particularly given the bezel gems and strap. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 highly for its comfortable wearability and distinctive dial and bracelet design.

Breitling Super Chronomat Automatic 38

Owners find the Breitling Super Chronomat Automatic 38 on a rouleaux bracelet works well, though some note the case feels substantial and wish for bracelet micro-adjustment. One owner reported significant accuracy issues, with the watch running between +5 to +20 seconds per day or -30 seconds per day, and an inconsistent power reserve around 36 hours, requiring two service visits. Overall, owners are split on the 38mm sizing, with some finding it ideal and others preferring larger cases.
