COLORS OF THE SEA Breitling’s new collection combines effortless style with beautiful craftsmanship

Breitling’s new Chronomat South Sea Capsule Collection captures tropical bliss by exuding vibrant colors, exquisite gemstones, and meticulous craftsmanship. Meet the three latest executions.

 

Through this capsule, the brand adds a dazzling new trio of colorways to the Collection, designed to transport you to a tropical paradise of golden beaches, aquatic depths, vibrant flora, and lush greenery.

 

“The Chronomat South Sea is inspired by the beauty of tropical land and seascapes,” said Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “Each watch creates an ever-changing visual spectacle of light and color.”

 

Designed with a focus on women, this new collection is made for those looking to combine effortless style with beautiful craftsmanship.

The new watches come in ice blue, green, and pink colorways that include metallic and mother-of-pearl dials, diamond-set hour markers, and multicolored gem-set bezels. Each can be paired with a matching alligator leather strap or Breitling’s distinctive metal rouleaux bracelet.

 

Underneath their exquisite exteriors, the Chronomat South Sea watches house the Breitling Caliber 10, a COSC-certified self-winding mechanical caliber known for its precision and reliability. With a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, these Swiss-made watches are designed to stand the test of time, much like the memories of a perfect tropical sunset.


The cases—in stainless steel, with bezels in 18-carat red or white gold—are elegantly sized at 36 milimeters, making them a versatile choice for women’s wrists. Water-resistant up to 100 meters, the timepieces are ready to accompany you on any adventure, whether a beachside escapade or sophisticated soirée.

 

Breitling’s legacy of crafting exquisite women’s timepieces dates back to the 1940s. It all began with the elegant ladies’ TransOcean, a watch celebrated as the “most wonderful expression of Breitling precision” in 1957. In the 1990s, the Lady J made a bold statement, paving the way for the Galactic series 2010, a fusion of refined luxury and uncompromising technical sophistication. More recent additions to Breitling’s women’s collection include the Superocean Heritage Pastel Paradise and the iconic Navitimer 36 and 32.

 

The original 1984 Chronomat holds a special place in history, signifying the resurgence of the Swiss watch industry. Its legacy has inspired countless timepieces, including dedicated women’s models over the past four decades.

 

The Chronomat South Sea is one of the Chronomat’s most beautiful expressions—an invitation to embrace an endless summer, no matter the season. Its vivid colors, expert craftsmanship, and technical excellence testify to Breitling’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of luxury watchmaking.
