Found this nice 88 page history of Breitling tucked away on their site.

http://www.breitling.com/calibreB01/pdf/GB_Moleskine.pdf

I suspect it could be a handout at Basel.

Enjoy!

Did you notice.........

At the back of the PDF is a link to the Media website and a special username / password that gives access to the B01 images in high def.

At the top of that page is a menu that you can't see without a 'real' media membership. One of those menu items is "DB Images". I'm guessing that DB means something other than the obvious in media circles but I almost choked on my water when I saw that!

Not one mention of 1957 Superocean, especially given the recent homage of the Heritage models. How odd.

I think they wanted to focus on the whole progrss of chronograph, since b01 is a chrono movement. This book would be much much thicker ifthey included it all in there
