They B-2 Movement is based on a ETA 2892, which does Hack.. so the Breitling 42 movement in the B-2 *should* hack. I don't have mine on hand to check right now.

Hacking Seconds hand means that the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out :)

Let me refer you to the Breitling Source Glossary ;)

Reason for asking as that I just bought a used one and found that it does not hack. :( But I've opended the case and it has a genuine Breitling movement. :D
