Hey guys,

It's been a while since I have posted, but I am super pumped to mention I just picked up a new Breitling Chronomat 44. The dial is blue with silver subdials and I love it!
It came with the new electronic warranty card so I assume it's a newer production piece, unless those were reissued by Breitling to replace the old paper style. This brings me onto my question of the day:

My watch has a date code of "2109B4" This signifies it is a 2009 build. Is this possible? I didn't think the chronomat 44 was released until 2011.

As a new watch, wouldn't this piece need a service if it really is from 2009? Please help as this is stressing me out!

Any and all input is appreciated!

Date code is when the case was produced, not the watch so not a problem.

OK great. So they make the cases that far in retrospect?

I purchased a Chronomat 44 flying fish new last year and the case is dated 2011, but mine came with paper 5yr warranty not the new electronic one!

Chronomat 44 was released in mid-2009. I have one of the first off the production line purchased in July 2009.

Yes I think your correct 2009, I think my special edition Flying Fish was released in 2013 if memory serves me correct, which often It doesn't! :)
