Is the Chrono-Matic Considered a Navitimer?

I am looking for Breitling history experts to chime in here. Put simply, is the Chrono-Matic (now discontinued) considered a part of the Navitimer family? It has the same flight computer bezel, functions as a chrono (albeit bi-register, though some Navitimers have come laid out this way), comes on a Navitimer bracelet in its more modern releases, and I have even seen it referred to as a Navitimer Chrono-Matic in some literature.

Now I understand that Breitling has had confusion with naming conventions in the past. The original “Chronomat” was far more similar to a Navitimer than the release that we saw in the 1980s which is now the predecessor for the modern Chronomat. And yet the Chrono-Matic seems to be the name Breitling gave to its first automatic chronograph which evolved into (though occasionally coexisted with) the Navitimer. The Chrono-Matic has even come in a Cosmonaute 24 hour layout as well. It is considered its own family? A sub-family of Navitimers?
