Key Features

• In-House Breitling Caliber B01 Chronograph Movement – At the heart of this timepiece lies the Manufacture Caliber B01, a self-winding chronograph movement developed and produced entirely by Breitling. This in-house mechanism features a column-wheel control system for precise start, stop, and reset functions, along with a vertical clutch that minimizes friction and improves long-term accuracy. The movement boasts a generous 70-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable operation even when the watch is not worn for several days. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the movement’s finishing reflects Breitling’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.
• 44mm Stainless Steel Case – The case is constructed from high-quality stainless steel with a combination of polished and satin-brushed surfaces, creating a balanced contrast that enhances its visual depth. Measuring 44mm in diameter, it offers a substantial yet wearable profile, ideal for those who appreciate a bold timepiece without sacrificing comfort. The case design includes protective crown guards and a screw-down crown, contributing to both durability and water resistance.
• Unidirectional Rotating Bezel – Essential for diving, the unidirectional rotating bezel allows the wearer to track elapsed time underwater safely. The ratcheted mechanism ensures tactile feedback with each turn, and the engraved markings provide clear, easy-to-read increments. The bezel’s design prioritizes functionality, with a textured surface for improved grip—even when handling with gloves.
• Water Resistance up to 200 Meters (20 Bar) – Built to withstand aquatic environments, this watch is water-resistant to 200 meters, meeting the technical requirements for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. The sealed case construction and screw-down crown help maintain internal integrity under pressure, making it a dependable choice for water-based activities.
• Black Dial with Luminous Markers – The black dial features applied hour markers and sword-shaped hands, all treated with Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility in low-light or dark underwater conditions. The dial layout is clean and symmetrical, with subdials for the chronograph functions positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, maintaining balance and legibility.
• Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating – The front crystal is made of scratch-resistant sapphire, one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, ensuring long-term clarity. Both sides are treated with an anti-reflective coating to minimize glare and improve readability in bright conditions, whether under direct sunlight or artificial lighting.
• Stainless Steel Bracelet with Fold-Over Clasp – The integrated stainless steel bracelet is designed for durability and comfort, featuring a seamless connection to the case. It includes a fold-over clasp with a safety lock mechanism, providing secure closure during active use. The bracelet’s solid construction and refined finish complement the overall design, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
