The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi,

I am looking at the page:
http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_refnos.shtml

I would like to get a list of the models. For example I am looking into a model B13355
55 represent the model name but I cannot find a list of the available models.
what will 55 stand for ? Where can I find a table that shows all options ?

Thanks,
Amit

I am also looking at official Breitling website:
http://www.breitling.com/en/models/chro ... /versions/

For the chronomat i see on the watch back the following (on the 360deg view):
AB0110

This is not consistent with the description in this website:
Can anyone explain what is that ? I expect to see 2&3 as numbers.

1 - Single letter representing the Case Material
2 & 3 – Two numbers representing the Movement used
4 – Single number designating if the movement is COSC Certified
5 & 6 – Two numbers representing the Model Type
7 & 8 – Two numbers representing the bezel/case Finish
9 – Single letter representing the Dial Colour
10, 11 & 12 - Three numbers representing the Design of the Dial

I just founf the below in another website (our site need to be updated):

2nd+3rd digits
Caliber number (50 and above means a quartz movement). Update: for the new in-house movements, a B is added right before the caliber number (e.g. B01).
4th digit
0 means that it is not COSC-certified; 3 means that it is. (But there are a few exceptions: a model of non–COSC-certified Astromat have a 4; a model of non-COSC Emergency have a 1.)

Still strange this is that the Chronomat from Bretling WEB site is NOT COSC-certified ??? Can it be ?

The model numbering scheme you are hinting at applies to non inhouse movements.
It is not applicable to the newer inhouse movement equipped models
All Breitling watches leaving the factory since the year 2000 onwards are COSC certified, 100%.

Not sure if the new model numbering scheme for the newer inhouse equipped models has been cracked yet . Yes "cracked" is probably the most accurate word as Breitling do not publish the logic behind their models numbering logic.

As I have repeatedly suggested, searching the site will help. All of these things have been discussed at considerable length over the last few years and every Breitling since around 2000 has been COSC certified.
