Looks like it is, and the BB LE in white gold is not a novelty.

Sure does, but look at the BEZEL. That is what the new B01 should have, that´s all I am saying. Quite nice, but I miss the rider tabs. Still this looks 100000000 times better than the space-font-bezel!

That's what I was thinking, I think if anything it would be a replacement to the Colt Oceane.

I dont think its a cockpit. It looks way too similar to the chronomat. Im sticking with chronomat replacement.

EDIT: Just crossed my mind... Maybe this is the B02 we keep wondering about, and the other pic we saw was wrong. That way the current chronomat is out, and there will be the B01 and B02.

Sounds too good to be true? If it were true, this would be the second iteration of the new movement with the 6-9-12 sub dial lay out. (Or so the B02 name would suggest.) With the modular construction it could be possible. That would be so cool!

But maybe Breitling would´ve made some announcement about it already. Someone would have heard something. So not very likely to happen IMO.

Still, let´s hope they pull that rabbit from the hat and keep our fingers crossed.

It doesnt necessarily have to have the B01 movement. It might just be a new version of the current iteration.

True that. That´s why the name only "suggests" so (nothing more), IF it were called Chronomat B02 (lke you suggested). I was just throwing in a really wild guess for fun.
Just as well it could still have the caliber 13 and I agree IMO too it does look a lot like a Chronomat.

Did you notice that the sub dials seem to be significantly further apart from each other and closer to the slide rule then on the current Chronomat. That would suggest a bigger case or other changes. (there I go again with the wild guesses. ) Of course I can (and probably am) just be imagening it too.

I did notice that, but techincally, I think that would indicate a smaller case. Remember, you cant change the size of a movement

I guess with that revelation, a chrono cockpit might be possible now... man, im confusing myself.

It doesn't have the chronomat scew down pushers though, which are still present on the Chronomat B01... Would strike me as being odd if they went 'backwards' with that.

So i wasn´t imagening, cool.


...Unless... it´s a new movement. Yep, I´m dreaming I know. . I promise to stop now! I really, really don´t believe it´s a new movement, but it would be great though.

True. This is a confusing one.
