Heritage

The Chronosport UDT was issued to specialized US military units such as the Navy SEALs, UDTs (Underwater Demolition Teams) and US Army Special Forces, considered it by many to be the ultimate military watch of it's time.

It's rugged design, accurate quartz movement and pioneering use of a highly legible dial combining both analog and digital displays made it a design sensation when it first appeared in the late 1970's. This watch was also produced by Breitling in the 1980s with the model name "Pluton", and appeared in the Breitling catalog until 1999.
