Yes, you read correctly. My AD gave me the new 2013 catalog last night and lo and behold, there is a limited edition Chronomat 01 Blacksteel. <a href="http://beta.photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt286/dcmiller9/01bs_zpsa50f9e90.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="http://beta.photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt286/dcmiller9/th_01bs_zpsa50f9e90.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> |

I'm surprised it took this long. |

They don't already make it? I was hoping I would open this thread and it would say "JUST KIDDING! But they are making a 6AL4V LE Chronomat!". Yeah. Anyway.. |

Breitling has done a great job with the in-house movements, but why not a ceramic bezel?? Even Steinhart has those! A cermaic bezel, on say the Super Ocean line, would be a good start...... |

The in-house movement is such a feat...which always confuses me why they don't show it off more! Ceramic would be awesome...as would liquid metal, carbon fiber, high grade titanium, a stupidly hard steel, or something else that would be different and more robust than 316. A ceramic bezel and grade 5 ti case would be not only cool but damned near impossible to harm finish-wise. |

Pics don't work for me. I've cribbed the pertinent bits out of your links here - http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt28 ... 0f9e90.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt28 ... 0f9e90.jpg Looks OK for what it is I guess, but if it'd been ceramic (and with a different bezel  ) we'd all be picking ourselves up off the floor in awe!

This looks very much like the Chronomat Flying Fish. |

This is a satin-finish steel cased watch, model number 720 in Chronolog 2013 book, brochure makes it look darker than it actually is |

Looks like a Blacksteel flying fish. I kinda like it but if it was ceramic then as driver says my jaw would be on the floor. |

As mentioned, that doesn't look blacksteel to me, and it would be amazing if the first that we heard of a model was in the chronolog which is almost out of date by the time that it is published. |

So it's not a Blacksteel flying fish. It's just the standard flying fish? |
