Chronomat B01—rename the mechanical chronograph
With a perfect fuselage,the Chronomat B01 of Breitling is available in four versions: all-steel, steel with a bezel bearing four solid gold quarter-hour markers; steel with a gold bezel, and all-gold. The precious metal comes exclusively in the warm, modern glow of 18K rose gold (4N). The dials are graced with sophisticated details such as diamond-polished hands, finely-turned totalizers and hand-applied numerals and hour-markers. The Roman numerals create an original effect playing with the circles of the totalizers and the square grid-patterned zone. The four applied quarter-hour markers on the bezel feature a convex profile ensuring a silky-smooth feel. Displaying a characteristic flair for detail, Breitling has opted to facilitate handling by slightly “lowering” the upper surface of the bezel on the side where the finger rests when performing the unidirectional rotation.Heir to top-flight expertise and representing a considerable sum of joint efforts, the Chronomat B01 is an authentic luxury object combining performance and craftsmanship; an intensely valuable creation focusing on essence rather than appearance, on efficiency rather than ostentation.with Caliber B01, the 1940s Breitling motto is expressed in dazzling new style. In a word it’s a well-equipped watch.
