Featuring Breitling's Iconic Elements and High Functionality: 11 Models in a Variety of Colors

The new "Super Chronomat" is Breitling's boldest collection to date, a versatile watch that perfectly balances robustness and style. Its powerful design is complemented by an elegance that suits evening wear.

Like the original "Chronomat," the rider tabs on this new model protect the sapphire crystal. The rider tabs at 3 and 9 o'clock are interchangeable, allowing for both countdown and count-up functions. The case diameter has been increased to 44mm, featuring the collection's most daring design.

Key features include a stainless steel bezel with ceramic inserts, a first for the "Chronomat." Two bracelet options are available: the iconic Rouleaux bracelet with a butterfly clasp, and a rubber strap inspired by the Rouleaux. This new rubber strap, crafted using cutting-edge injection molding technology, offers three distinct textures—matte, slick, and woven—creating a striking impression and enhancing the integration with the case.

The "Super Chronomat B01 44" is offered in three versions. Two models feature stainless steel cases paired with blue or black dials and bezels. The third model boasts an 18K red gold case with a deep brown dial and bezel. All models are equipped with contrasting silver chronograph counters. The movement is the COSC-certified Caliber Breitling 01 (manufactured in-house), offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve.

Additionally, a special black-dial model features a UTC module integrated into the Rouleaux bracelet. UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. Breitling has offered this unique module since the 1980s, allowing for the display of a second time zone at the lug ends.

As its name suggests, the "Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar" features a semi-perpetual calendar mechanism that requires adjustment only once every leap year, or every 1461 days. Two versions are available: one with a black dial, matching chronograph counters, a stainless steel bezel with black ceramic inserts, and 18K red gold elements; and another with a blue dial, matching chronograph counters, and an 18K red gold bezel with blue ceramic inserts.

This model boasts a water resistance of up to 100 meters and is powered by the COSC-certified chronometer movement, Breitling Caliber 19, which displays the day, date, month, and moon phase.

Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling, commented on this release: "This watch is a statement piece that draws attention effortlessly. It's tough enough for any activity but never compromises your style."
