Breitling Chronomat B01 Watches

For over a century, Breitling watches have been synonymous with innovation, precision and technical mastery, establishing the brand as a global benchmark. Among its prestige models, the Breitling Chronomat B01 stands out as a flagship timepiece, representing the perfect balance between technical innovation and timeless elegance. On the occasion of the brand's 140th anniversary, Auberi invites you to discover this masterpiece of watchmaking.

The Breitling Chronomat : a watchmaking heritage

The history of the Breitling Chronomat dates back to 1942, when the brand introduced this revolutionary model for aviation professionals and engineers. Designed for its technical capabilities and equipped with a circular slide rule, the Chronomat made it possible to perform complex calculations in flight, facilitating navigation for pilots.

In the 1980s, Breitling reinvented the Chronomat, inspired by a collaboration with the Italian air patrol Frecce Tricolori. This modernized, more robust model became a benchmark in the world of sports and technical watches. With its imposing case, Rouleaux steel bracelet and screwed pushers, it met the specific needs of military pilots while appealing to a wider public.

The Chronomat B01 represents the culmination of this evolution. With its in-house B01 caliber, it embodies Breitling's technical excellence and establishes itself as an indispensable timepiece for lovers of fine watchmaking and performance.

Calibre B01 : precision in all its splendour

At the heart of the Breitling Chronomat B01 is the B01 caliber, one of the most respected and reliable movements in the watchmaking world. Designed and manufactured in-house by Breitling, this automatic movement is the fruit of several years of research and development. Since its launch in 2009, it has become a guarantee of quality and performance, thanks to its many innovative features.

The B01 caliber is certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), guaranteeing extreme precision, with a margin of error of less than -4/+6 seconds per day. This chronometer certification is the ultimate standard of precision for Swiss watches, making the Chronomat B01 a benchmark model for lovers of high-precision timepieces.

The B01 movement also offers an impressive 70-hour power reserve, a major asset for those who wish to alternate between several watches without having to constantly wind their timepiece. The B01's robustness is also reflected in its resistance to shock and vibration - essential qualities for a watch designed for aviation, but just as useful in the everyday life of modern adventurers.

An emblematic and versatile design

The Breitling Chronomat B01 is distinguished by its unique design, both sporty and sophisticated. True to the aesthetics of the Chronomat models from the 1980s, the Chronomat B01 sports a stainless steel Rouleaux bracelet that is as comfortable as it is iconic. This bracelet is not only a reference to the past, but also a demonstration of Breitling's craftsmanship.

The case of the Chronomat B01 is available in several sizes, but the most popular version remains the 42 mm model, which combines an imposing presence without being excessively bulky. Its unidirectional, notched bezel is equipped with interchangeable jumpers, allowing the watch to be customized according to the user's preferences, while offering additional protection to the sapphire crystal.

The Chronomat B01's dial is available in a wide range of colors, from classic black to bright blue and emerald green. Luminescent hands and hour markers ensure optimum legibility in all light conditions, a feature that reinforces its usefulness in a variety of environments, from the cockpit to everyday life.

A high-precision chronograph

In addition to its watch function, the Breitling Chronomat B01 incorporates a chronograph of unrivalled precision. The chronograph is driven by screwed pushers, guaranteeing water-resistance to 200 meters, a testament to the watch's robustness. The chronograph sub-dials, harmoniously positioned on the main dial, offer a quick and intuitive reading of elapsed time measurements.

Thanks to the precision of the B01 caliber, the chronograph is fluid and responsive, enabling precise time calculations down to 1/4 second. This functionality, combined with the refined aesthetics, makes the Chronomat B01 both practical and elegant.
