To guarantee its long-term independence and ensure that it has complete control over quality, Breitling is launching its own mechanical chronograph movement. The accurate, reliable, sturdy and efficient B01 is directly in line with the philosophy of excellence that the brand has been pursuing for 125 years. This new caliber has a column wheel, a vertical-trigger mechanism and a power reserve exceeding 70 hours, which ensures that the movement has a more regular rate. It was designed to maximize functionality and safety when in use. Breitling also gave it some assertively innovative features intended to increase its ease of manufacture and use, including a patented mechanism for auto-centering the reset hammers and an exclusive index regulator system that allows the watch’s timing to be quickly customized to the wearer. The B01’s intelligent architecture also offers significant
advantages in terms of maintenance.
