Breitling - Super Chronomat

0 0 Friday 7 May 2021 Edit this post

Breitling presented the new Super Chronomat, a collection of all-purpose sports watches housed in masculine 44 mm cases.

The new models feature a stainless steel rotating bezel with black ceramic insert and rider tabs to protect the sapphire crystal. In particular, the tabs at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock are interchangeable, so the wearer can use them for countdowns as well as countups.

The new models can be matched to a Rouleaux-inspired rubber strap or to Breitling's classic steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp.

The Super Chronomat B01 44 comes in three variations. Two are encased in stainless steel with blue or black dial-and-bezel combinations. The third is a rich brown dial-and-bezel combination with a case in red gold.

Water resistant to 200 metres / 660 feet, all these models are driven by the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a self-winding column-wheel chronograph movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering about 70 hours of power reserve.

Breitling presented a fourth version with a black dial and a UTC-module embedded in a Rouleaux bracelet. Referring to Universal Time Coordinated, this unusual feature is a reference to a Breitling model dating back to the 1980s.

Prices of the Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 start from Euro 8,150.

The Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar is equipped with a semi-perpetual calendar mechanism that needs to be adjusted only once every leap year – or 4 years. It comes in two versions: black dial with tone-on-tone chronograph counters, a stainless-steel bezel with a black ceramic bezel insert, and red gold elements, or blue dial featuring tone-on-tone chronograph counters and a bezel in red gold with a blue ceramic insert.
