Breitling Chronomat 44 Watch In Blue For North American Boutique Shops

While there isn’t a whole lot new about this http://www.syrauto.com/high-quality-breitling-navitimer-01-rb012012-ba49-bc-aaa-watches-8a9m.html watch, it does have a great black and blue motif to it. This is a special limited edition version of the Breitling Chronomat 44 watch that will exclusively be available in Breitling’s North American boutique stores. There are still very few details about the watch, such as the price or the amount in the limited edition. What I can say is that Breitling is a nice job “re-imagining” the dial in a sober sky blue splendor. There is also matching blue stitching on the alligator AB012721/C889 replica style strap. The case is in all steel, and 46.2mm wide. It is everything you know and love about the Chronomat 44 complete with turnip style crown.

The blue dial uses blue for most all the markers and hands. The designers did something that I like a lot, which is do the Arabic hour numerals in outlined blue mixed with the solid blue hour and minute markers. This is a difference between this style and the standard A1732024/B868 replica watch collection. The white on black date disc isn’t in blue, but frankly I don’t think it needs to be. Breitling watches are often found in limited edition variants, but this one is a special breed being a regional limited edition – not necessarily for a specific event or cause.

Movement inside the watch is the famous Breitling in-house made caliber 51111 automatic movement with a 7 day power reserve – that is about 168 hours. The dial comes complete with the time, power reserve indicator and the date. It is one of the most recognizable watches in the Navitimer watch world, and probably the first watch people think of when it comes to solid quality Navitimer brand Chronomat 44 watches. While I don’t know the specific price of the watch, I have a feeling it isn’t going to be very cheap, the standard model in steel is around $10,000. I hope they make at least 500 or so of them, because this is really a stunning watch in blue. Look for it soon, at Breitling boutique stores located in North America.

The watch features small hacking seconds for synchronising your watch with other dive team members and a leap year display at 6 o’clock. The hours and minutes of the flyback chronograph combine in a totaliser at 12 o’clock. Now there is a bit of open-worked magic to this timepiece as well. When you gaze at the large double digit day and month displays you can enjoy the sight of the discs slowly rotating under the honeycomb mesh. The designers took the idea for this by closely inspecting the mesh on submarine filter systems. As for the digital date system for hours and minutes, it harks back to the Pallweber system originally developed by Breitling as long ago as 1885.
