Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 Blue Dial Watch AB0136

The Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44mm Blue Dial (Ref. AB0136) delivers authentic aviation chronograph heritage with modern ceramic technology whilst maintaining the distinctive rider tabs that made the original Chronomat legendary amongst the Italian Frecce Tricolori aerobatic squadron. The ceramic inserts on the bezel, pushers, and crown provide genuine material advantages including superior scratch resistance and enhanced grip for gloved operation.

At 44mm with 14.45mm thickness, this provides substantial aviation instrument presence appropriate for professional cockpit use. The distinctive rider tabs at the 15-minute marks protect the recessed crystal from damage during cockpit operations, addressing the real problem of crystal breakage that pilots experienced with conventional chronographs during canopy manipulation and instrument operation.

The Manufacture Calibre B01 delivers COSC chronometer certification with 70-hour power reserve and proper column wheel construction. The 1/4 second precision and 30-minute/12-hour totalisers provide legitimate timing capability for aviation operations, whilst the weekend-proof power reserve accommodates irregular wearing patterns during flight schedules.

The blue dial creates sophisticated aviation appeal whilst maintaining high contrast legibility essential for rapid time reading during flight operations. The iconic Rouleaux bracelet provides enhanced security and durability designed for the demanding conditions of aerobatic flight including G-forces and vibration.

This Super Chronomat suits buyers who want authentic aviation chronograph heritage with modern materials innovation. The Frecce Tricolori connection validates genuine pilot requirements rather than aviation styling, whilst the ceramic technology and Manufacture movement provide contemporary performance. It’s built for serious aviation use whilst offering the sophisticated finishing expected from luxury Swiss chronographs.
