Product Description

Breitling Chrono Sextant "Mata-Rangi" Expedition: A Limited-Edition 1000 ones, Marine Chronicle

The Breitling Chrono Sextant "Mata-Rangi" Expedition (Reference B55047) is a rare, historically significant Swiss timepiece released in 1999 as a strict limited edition of only 1,000 individually numbered pieces worldwide. Belonging to Breitling's iconic Windrider family, this model bridges the gap between aviation-grade engineering and heroic ocean exploration, making it a highly prized treasure among modern vintage watch collectors.

The watch was designed to commemorate the legendary Mata-Rangi expedition led by Spanish explorer Kitín Muñoz. The daring maritime voyage aimed to cross the Pacific Ocean on a traditional, massive reed boat built using ancient Polynesian techniques to prove prehistoric migration paths. Breitling embedded this legacy right onto the watch’s matte pearl-white dial, which proudly displays the vibrant, multi-colored Mata-Rangi expedition emblem ("The Eyes of Paradise") and script lettering below the 12 o’clock position.

Beyond its historic narrative, the timepiece features exceptional physical architecture, utilizing a highly versatile 36mm stainless steel case capped by a rotating bezel with Breitling’s signature 18k yellow gold rider tabs at the quarter hours. Beneath the commemorative engraved steel case back lies its true horological marvel: the Breitling Caliber 55 mecha-quartz movement. Built on a premium Frédéric Piguet 1270 base, this high-end hybrid engine combines the flawless grab-and-go accuracy of quartz timekeeping with a mechanically linked chronograph assembly. This configuration ensures that the pushers retain the crisp, tactile "click" of a mechanical watch, and the stopwatch hands snap instantaneously back to zero upon reset. Finished with a neat date window between 4 and 5 o'clock, the Mata-Rangi Sextant remains a sought-after rarity that beautifully balances 20th-century luxury build quality with an unforgettable story of human endurance.
