Its round two-tone steel and gold case is distinguished by its famous rotating rider-tab bezel, invented by the house in 1982. A chronograph that is both sporty and dressy, it has an immediately recognizable presence on the wrist.

A date window is positioned at 3 o’clock, while the graduated rotating bezel and peripheral tachymeter scale recall the tool-watch vocation of this Chronomat. Applied hour markers and luminous hands ensure excellent legibility. The winged Breitling logo completes this dynamic dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this Chronomat beats the \u003cstrong\u003eValjoux 7750 automatic movement\u003c\/strong\u003e, with 17 jewels — the first mechanical caliber adopted by Breitling for this model.

Around 1990–1991, Breitling adopted a new system and the Chronomat became 13047, preceded by a letter. The first transitional pieces bear both references engraved on the caseback, as here: 81950 and A13047.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this watch water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally, the Chronomat 81950 was water-resistant to 100 meters.
