Hands On: New Breitling Super Chronomat 44 MM Men's Watch Replica

Hands On: New Breitling Super Chronomat 44 MM Men's Watch Replica

Breitling's latest series aims to break the difference between the two design concepts and combine the more refined 80s-style appearance of the current Chronomat series into a true heavy-duty sports watch platform. The resulting brand-new Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 mm replica series includes a version with a UTC module bracelet, an 18k red gold version, and a Breitling Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar.

Super Chronomat B01 44 Replica

The Breitling Super Chronomat replica is the boldest of all Chronomat watch collections. With a 44mm case it has been designed to meet the requirements of both strength and style. Rider tabs offer protection for the sapphire crystal, with those at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock being interchangeable to allow flexibility with countdowns as well as countups. Exciting new features include the stainless-steel bezel with ceramic insert, the first of its kind on a Chronomat. There is also the choice of either a Rouleaux-inspired rubber strap or the iconic metal strap with butterfly clasp. The rubber strap has been created with remarkable attention to detail using state-of-the-art injection moulding techniques that result in three well defined textures that grant the strap incredible depth and character.

With style comes choice, and the replica Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 is available in three colour schemes. The blue or black dial-and-bezel combinations come encased in stainless-steel, whilst a third rich brown dial-and-bezel combination comes encased in 18K red gold. The chronograph counters contrast in silver against the coloured dials and are powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01. With a power reserve equivalent to around 70 hours and water resistance to 200 metres, this supercharged Chronomat is the perfect companion for any degree of sports enthusiast seeking a stylish solution with no compromise on performance.

For those individuals seeking the more unique and extraordinary, a Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 black dial version is also available, featuring a UTC-module embedded in a Rouleaux bracelet. This unusual Breitling feature dates back to the 1980s and presents an opportunity to keep track of a second time zone.

Super Chronomat Four-Year Calendar Replica

As for the replica Breitling Super Chronomat Four-Year Calendar, sizing remains at 44mm but thickness is up a hair to 14.55mm. Water-resistance is down to 100 meters, and this calendar-packed Chronomat uses Breitling’s Caliber 19 movement. Based on an ETA 2892-A2, the Caliber 19 has been seen in several past models from Breitling and it uses a module to offer not only a chronograph but also a calendar movement that accounts for everything except leap year.

As with most complicated calendars (especially those packed into sport watches), there’s a lot going on in terms of dial design, and most of the sub-dials are running double duty to keep track of both a 12-hour chronograph measure and day, date, month, and moon phase. It’s an uncommon calendar execution, but I get the appeal, offering most of a perpetual calendar without all of the cost. To be clear, the Caliber 19 (which is sometimes identified by Breitling as the 1461) is not an annual calendar (which requires adjustment… annually). Rather, as the name suggests, the Four-Year Calendar would only need to be adjusted for Feb 29th.
