Breitling Chronomat 42 B01

Product detailed description

The Breitling Chronomat B01 42 represents a modern interpretation of one of Breitling’s most iconic collections. The current generation builds on the 1984 Chronomat model, which helped define the brand’s modern identity. In titanium, the watch takes on a more technical character while being significantly lighter than the classic steel versions.

The 42 mm titanium case is complemented by a distinctive rotating bezel with rider tabs, a hallmark of the Chronomat collection. The gray dial with a subtle sunburst effect creates an elegant contrast with the titanium case and maintains excellent readability thanks to the contrasting chronograph sub-dials. The date window is positioned at the 6 o’clock mark. The watch is fitted with a titanium Rouleaux bracelet, which is one of the most distinctive design elements of the modern Chronomat collection and also ensures high wearing comfort. Water resistance to 200 meters underscores the model’s sporty character.

Inside, it is powered by the in-house automatic Breitling B01 caliber, which is among the most respected chronograph movements of today. It offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and utilizes a column wheel and vertical clutch design for precise and smooth chronograph operation. COSC chronometer certification, confirming high accuracy, is a given.

The Breitling Chronomat B01 42 in titanium is the ideal choice for those seeking a robust sports chronograph with modern technology, high durability, and significantly lower weight than traditional steel models. The package also includes an active five-year international Breitling warranty. To maintain this warranty, a water resistance check must be performed once a year at an authorized Breitling service center; this check is provided free of charge by the manufacturer.
