How to Choose Your Breitling Super Chronomat
The Super Chronomat is a 44 mm sport-chic chronograph. Before choosing your version, there are several practical criteria worth considering.
Wrist size is the first filter. With its 44 mm case, the Super Chronomat is the largest model in the Chronomat family. It is best suited to wrists measuring 17 cm (6.7 inches) or larger. Below that size, daily wear may become uncomfortable and the overall look can appear disproportionate.
Case material is another important factor. Three versions are available: two stainless steel models with either blue or black dials and bezels, and a third version featuring a brown dial and an 18-carat red gold case. Stainless steel is more versatile for everyday wear, while red gold is better suited to evening occasions or formal settings.
Your intended use of the chronograph also matters. If you actively use the timing functions for sports, aviation, or diving, the classic Super Chronomat B01 44 with the metal Rouleaux bracelet is the most appropriate choice. The COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve, meaning no winding is required over a typical weekend. Both the metal Rouleaux bracelet and the Rouleaux-inspired rubber strap feature folding clasps. The rubber strap is more practical for physical activities, while the metal bracelet is better suited to formal wear.
Water resistance is another consideration if you swim or dive regularly. The Super Chronomat B01 44 is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and pool use, though not for technical diving.
Advanced functions may also influence your choice. If you need a second time zone display, consider the version equipped with the UTC module integrated into the Rouleaux bracelet. For those who travel less frequently but appreciate a more exclusive complication, the Four-Year Calendar version adds a semi-perpetual calendar, day, month, and moon-phase display.

FAQ — Breitling Super Chronomat
Is the Super Chronomat suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. It is a versatile sports watch that combines elegance and style with practicality. It transitions seamlessly from the office to a dinner engagement. Its 200-meter water resistance also makes it suitable for swimming and unexpected downpours. The main consideration is its generous 44 mm diameter, which is best suited to larger wrists.
What is the difference between the Super Chronomat B01 44 and the Chronomat B01 42?
The primary differences are size and positioning. Breitling's standard Chronomat was reduced from 44 mm to 42 mm during its redesign, and it was this return to a 44 mm format that gave rise to the Super Chronomat, positioned as the boldest member of the collection. The Super Chronomat also features ceramic inserts on the bezel, pushers, and crown—elements not found on the Chronomat 42.
Does the Super Chronomat Four-Year Calendar require frequent maintenance?
No. Its semi-perpetual calendar mechanism only requires adjustment once every 1,461 days—essentially once every leap year. In practice, this means a manual correction approximately every four years, solely to account for the transition from February 28 to February 29. The Breitling Caliber 19 that powers the watch is also COSC-certified.
What warranty comes with the Super Chronomat?
Breitling provides a 5-year warranty on all of its watches, along with an additional 3-year extension for in-house mechanical manufacture movements. Since the Super Chronomat B01 44 is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, this extended warranty applies automatically.
Can I try on the Super Chronomat on the French Riviera before purchasing?
Yes. Auberi, an authorized Breitling retailer on the French Riviera, carries the main models from the Super Chronomat collection in its boutiques. Trying the watch on in person remains the best way to assess how the 44 mm case fits your wrist and to compare the stainless steel and red gold finishes before making a decision.
