Nothing really beats a Breitling watch as a luxury Christmas gift. Each timepiece is crafted from a selection of premium materials and creates a statement on the wrist. Breitling watches from the Chronomat series make for particularly desirable pieces since the range has a strong cult following. Those who love the original Chronomat range will no doubt be drawn to the classic allure of the Super Chronomat watch series, now with more reasons than ever before to buy one. Read on to learn why.
Ethically sourced gold this Christmas
The Breitling Super Chronomat 38 is an interesting watch to invest in this Christmas. It not only smacks luxury and finesse, but since the Super Chronomat collection is a move towards more sustainable watchmaking, it also says a lot about you as a watch wearer. Super Chronomat watches sport laboratory-grown diamonds and ethically sourced gold. Each wearer can check the origins of the beautiful diamonds showcased in their watch via the public online source map and the NFT. Sourced from a single mine in Columbia, the gold used for the two-tone effect in the new Breitling Super Chronomat 38 mint green watch is certified by the Swiss Better Gold Association. What this means is that you get a watch that supports gold that is mined from origins where the local community and the environment are fully protected. By 2025, Breitling aims to use only gold that is traceable to certified mines and continues to reach this goal by contributing to several local development projects in the region.
Lab-grown diamonds
Grown from a lab and of the finest quality, Breitling uses lab-grown diamonds to adorn the Super Chronomat 38 mint green timepiece. What’s more, they are indistinguishable from natural diamonds both in their character, their form and their appearance. Certified by the Scientific Certification Systems that meet ecological and ethical criteria, the use of these crystals supports the diamond-producing community. Like its gold, by 2024, Breitling aims to use only laboratory-grown diamonds in all of its gem-set watches.
So, buying a Breitling Super Chronomat watch this Christmas goes a little further than buying a simple piece of sparkle for your loved one. The mint green stainless steel and rose gold model is a step in the right direction environmentally and ecologically, both for the consumer and for the Swiss manufacturer. But let's take a look at some of its other key features...
Why the Breitling Super Chronomat 38 mint green watch makes such a good Christmas gift idea for her
The Super Chronomat 38 mint green watch from Breitling makes a great Christmas gift for any Breitling fan this Christmas 2022. But whether your loved one has worn and enjoyed a watch from the Chronomat range before or not, she’s sure to be in for a pleasant surprise. The model is incredibly tactile and retains a classic look despite being somewhat contemporary. Its case measures a 38mm diameter and has been crafted from a mix of stainless steel and 18ct rose gold. A full polish to the case captures the elegance of the entire range, whilst its crown at 3 o’clock has received a touch of colour with an enamel finish, tailored to match the colour of the signature rider tabs on the bezel and the dial itself. The watch sits on the wrist at a height of 11.88mm. Interspersing these coloured rider tabs on the bezel of the lady’s Super Chronomat 38 watch is a row of lab-grown diamonds that scintillate under the light, picking up a full spectrum of colour and an admirable clarity. The sides of the bezel have also been equipped with screws that work as a visual element to the design and a gripping aid, seen as the bezel can move unidirectionally.
The back of the Breitling Super Chronomat 38 mint green watch offers plenty of space for a special engraved message to a loved one this Christmas. The steel case is 100-meter resistant leaving just the crown and the bezel to shine in luxurious rose golden tones. Inside the case of this lady’s Breitling watch for Christmas is the Breitling Calibre 17, based on the ETA 2824-2. This offers a power reserve of 38 hours and is COSC certified. It sits at a height of 4.6mm and performs at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour.
The dial of the new Breitling Super Chronomat 38 mint green watch, however, is where the true magic happens. Indulgent pale green tones create a blanket across the surface of the dial to which a set of rose gold stick markers and hands are laid upon. Luminous material has been applied to the surface of these features to assist with timekeeping at night or in dark conditions, whilst a date window adds a level of added technical appeal to the design at 6 o’clock.
Adding that extra wow factor on Christmas morning, the Breitling Super 38 mint green watch is completed on a bi-colour Rouleaux bracelet – a signature design feature of the original Chronomat watch series. 18ct rose gold links run through the centre of the bracelet, whilst polished stainless steel links lead to a matching steel folding clasp.
