Look at the four raised tabs on the bezel. They are the reason this watch exists in the shape it does.
The Chronomat came out of Breitling's collaboration with the Frecce Tricolori, the Italian Air Force aerobatic team. Pilots were cracking their watch crystals against the aircraft canopy, so Breitling sank the glass into the case and stood four tabs around it to take the impact. They turned out to do two more jobs: they can be gripped while wearing flight gloves, and they mark the quarter hours on the rotating bezel.
This is the Chronomat Evolution, Ref. A13356 — a grey dial in a 44mm steel case, COSC-certified automatic chronograph, water resistant to 300m. It comes with its 2010 guarantee card, box, booklet and chronometer certificate, and is graded Rank A.
