🧑🎤 Celebrity Provenance

Breitling’s Chronoliner is a cult favorite among collectors who want something bolder than the Navitimer. The rare chocolate brown dial is a connoisseur’s choice, the kind of reference spotted on the wrists of seasoned aviation enthusiasts and insiders rather than mainstream hype-watch wearers.

🕵️ Story

This is not your everyday Chronoliner. The chocolate brown execution, paired with a ceramic bezel and full bracelet, was produced in much smaller numbers than the black-dial version — making it a true collector’s pick. Full kits are scarce, and examples with all links for larger wrists are even rarer. What makes this Case #82 more compelling is that we’re offering it well below the prevailing market value — a rare opportunity to secure a standout reference at a price designed for rapid turnover rather than speculation. In BST terms: it’s not just a watch, it’s a solved case file.
