The Breitling Watch Source Forums

That was all announced at Basel this year.

The other ones are interesting, I've never seen a Breitling stock photo with a time other than 10:09 and a date other than 12th / 25th so the one showing the 14th and 10:06 looks odd. Looks like WUS and TZ are still missing all this.

I'm not sure I understand the logic of the in house regular chronomat - seems to detract from the B01, but will be popular among those who don't like the Galactic style bezel. DB is always good news.

Now where have I seen this idea before... Bell & Ross instrument series, anyone? All they need now is to add red, black and phantom models.

But B&R made fewer of each colour (500 of each except orange, which was 250).

EDIT - I meant red, blue and phantom, obviously

Just uploaded the new Blackbird Limited Edition image on a new topic

Welcome and thanks for all the info.

This one sounds the highlight to me.

Well quite.

However it just seems to me like it would be quite a odd thing for Breitling to do given their general march towards the new bezel design. I just can't see why they would put the B01 movement in the old Chronomat case. Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to see it happen, but I can't see Breitling's rationale for doing so given their apparent strategy elsewhere.

And as for a DB, well that would another huge departure for Breitling as they have only very VERY rarely used DBs on automatic models in the past. In fact I can only think of one full automatic with a DB off the top of my head - the super rare and super expensive G34360 Chrono Avenger Rattrapante, and that was only to show off the solid gold rotor.

This mysterious B01 equiped "non-B01 Chronomat" is one that I think we definitely need pictures of, me thinks.

Yes, The B01 movement in a Chronomat case will be in a matt steel (2000 pieces) and gold (200 pieces). Price and delivery date is TBC.

There will also be a B01 movement limited edition of the Navitimer with 2000 steel and 200 gold, again this will have a crystal caseback. Price and delivery TBC.

The details of these watches were given to me by my Breitling representative so know them to be true. I was as surprised as you when he said an exhibition caseback, can't wait to see it, will be a sure seller.

I Want I Want I Want I Want!!!!

Any thoughts on the size yet? Traditional Navitimer Design or Navitimer World? Would love to see B01 in a 46mm Navitimer.

Very interesting news! Can't wait to see pics.

oh my god!!
whats happened to breitling??
who made those selections????
are they comming drunk to work??

saw this at biggin and i like it better than all the other avengers

I like both particulalry the Yellow. There are now a lot of Blacksteel options available and I am hoping that Breitling will give more choice to their Blacksteel customers and give us more options such as a Blacksteel Bracelet for starters.

Im becoming more and more skeptical after each post.. I hope this news is all true, but right now im not on board.

Good call on the B&R reference. I'm skeptical on this as well. I put a call into George to see if they've heard anything and he's looking into it. I'll let everyone know once I find something out.
