After some time away from the brand the lure of Breitling has got hold of me again.

I think watching the super factories threads on youtube has got me wanting the Chronomat more and more so a couple of trades later and I am due to receive my brand new Chronomat GMT tomorrow, can't wait!!! I have also ordered a Superocean 44 which is to follow next week and ticks off the divers watch requirement as well.

Very excited and soon to have that new watch feeling again.

Phew....initially I was worried if you have gotten a replica because the design seems different from a regular Chronomat GMT. After browsing the Breitling website then I realized that they have a different version which is the one you are having. Congrats on yr purchase!

Yup - its the last model in the versions section of the website I think it is reference AB0413B9|BD17|383A.

I really liked the brushed bezel with the black numbering on the bezel and the all black dial (no white ring around the outside of the dial). I wasn't so sure about the red second (timer) hand but that's also pretty cool too, photos just do not do it justice it looks amazing in different light - spent most of last night admiring it.

If it is AB0413B9 as OP stated above then it is 47 mm.
The 44 mm model is AB0420B9.

The 44 mm model is AB0420B9.

The OP's is definitely the 47mm version.

They've just changed the baton markers a little on that newer one (for the better IMO), so they look a little more like the 44mm version's as per Ajas's picture of his 44mm).
