Breitling Chronomat B01 42mm Silver Dial Silver Steel Strap Watch For Men - AB0134101G1A1
The Chronomat B01 is inspired by nearly all generations of Breitling Chronomat watches, however it has ended up being something entirely new altogether. This watch has combined conservative masculinity with innovation and high-quality construction.
The Chronomat B01 is 42mm-wide and about 15mm-thick. It wears large but not too large, in our opinion. The polished steel and the wide lugs combined with the dramatic tapering of the stunning Rouleaux bracelet give it a grand presence. As always for Breitling, the steel case is well-made with excellent finishing, Breitling cases always have crisp details, high quality polishes and surface treatments and this one does not disappoint.
The new Rouleaux bracelet on this watch is built more like contemporary luxury product in its own right. Each part being individually machined and polished, and generally much more sturdy than the old Rouleaux bracelets which would bend and stretch over time. This bracelet stands out on the Chronomat B01 42 and makes it even more outstanding.
The new rotating bezel design is clearly inspired by the original Chronomat watches, but this is more refined, likewise with the hands on the dial. The black chronograph dials are very refined and elegant, and stand out nicely contrasted on the silver dial. altogether this is a very good looking and impressive watch.
Breitling’s in-house-made caliber B01 automatic chronograph is a great performer and has a stable 4Hz frequency movement with an impressive 70 hours of power reserve. You can see the movement through the sapphire crystal window on the rear of the watch.
