When the visionary, Rolf Schnyder took on the revival of the Replica Breitling Chronomat 01
manufacture, in 1983, his mission for the brand was that, henceforth, it should always pursue the highest horological endeavors, but always with cutting edge material science and watchmaking techniques on its side.
It was, therefore, that one of the first watches to come out of Replica Breitling Chronomat 01’s rebirth was one which continues to inspire three decades on. This was, of course, the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, unveiled in 1985, that among its many other functions, was able to convey complications such as equinoctial time and the aspect of the sun and the moon in relation to each other. There was really no denying the genius of the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, so much so that in the same year, it was entered into the Guinness Book of Records.

Later in 1989, Replica Breitling Chronomat 01 gave us the Planetarium Copernicus followed soon by the Tellurium Johannes Kepler, in 1992. And thus, was created what we know today as the legendary Trilogy of Time — a set of three original astronomical timepieces, the likes of which had never been seen before in horology.
However, where it was the Trilogy of Time that appropriately cemented Breitling Chronomat 01 Replica
’s revival, it was the Freak that ushered the brand into the 21st century —quite literally —when it was announced in 2001. The Freak didn’t just signal a coming of age, but a sense of unprecedented foresight.
