Breitling have been involved with the Seiko 1969 automatic chronograph movement into that event published. During this affect Chronograph heavily on the future development of the year, both sides demonstrated a strong ambition, trying to get past, to rely on hand to provide energy, timing chain movement, with a high degree of practicality. Today, the two form a large group of plants with more resources, and cutting-edge technology as a back-up excellent home-made chronograph movement more naturally at your fingertips. With general movement-based Breitling, never denied that the movement comes from where, as amended through the factory’s motives have been so much more superior quality movement; and in 2009 the formal launch of the movement b01, more so Breitling across another threshold. The cutting-edge technology combined with user-friendly design, has been Seiko’s direction, but its precise as the highest purpose in order to grand seiko series, not only in the self-movement have a very high achievement, high level of texture is also a cause not put it down.
chronomat b01 Chronograph parameters, material stainless steel, self-winding movement b01, functional chronograph, display hours, minutes, small seconds, date, unidirectional rotating bezel, chain with a stainless steel, mirror Sapphire crystal case back screwed type, reference price nt $ 294,800.
Insist on using high-quality movement
In 2002, eta announced in 2005, the movement ceased to swatch watch factory outside the group, although this move was to obtain the Swiss Federal Fair Trade Commission, came forward to avoid the impact on the livelihood of other Swiss watch industry, but will put up their prices the price movement, which is why many watch factory had to accept the situation. Breitling factory at the time the interview, feeling helpless for such a situation, but said that will still continue to buy eta products. The reason is that Breitling is a Swiss watch industry, the use of up to eta 7750 chronograph movement is one of the watch factory, and through Switzerland, the Observatory certification; so within a short time to obtain high-quality, high-precision Juju tens of thousands of pieces of output movements, looking to the industry there is no second.
The facial disc delicate texture, different patterns of timing engraved plate, with bright surface of the pointer and the time scale, the effect is even more remarkable. As chronomat b01 waterproof depth of 500 meters, so the overall case structure need to be more strengthened, while the 15mm thick of the case, the overall weight is considerable.
A comprehensive reform from the inside out
Breitling has continued to use after the eta movement, the movement as a major source; While the surface, Breitling, and there is no high-profile claims to self-development movement, but privately they have been quietly carried out the research and development of action b01 timing movement. In 2004, Breitling began designing a new movement, and in 2006 to complete assembly and testing, and b01 in the following year to confirm the movement of the main specifications and architecture; in after two years of planning and mass production, Breitling in 2009 Swiss basel tables show, the formal launch of chronomat b01 chronograph, which is Breitling’s first self-made movement in the history of the table section. In less than two months after the table show the world in many countries have begun selling chronomat b01, This proves that in no hurry to pre-empt the Breitling announced the existence of the new movement, the result is more stable and rapid sales and publicity. The chronomat b01 through a variety of materials, colors and strap combination of the introduction of more than 20 styles, so that consumers have a high degree of selectivity; chronomat still continued to watch this subsection appearance, but the abolition of one-way rotating outer ring 3, 6,9,12 o’clock in the direction of three-dimensional arrows. Rotating the table at the same time increase the number of circles of the gears, rotating bezel, each gap distance shorter bezel and enhancing the accuracy of the instructions.
Breitling has all along adopted screw type case back, open case case back, it must have special tools, or easy to scratch the case back. In addition, watch this section of the case back is also much more than any other chronograph watch is thick.
Top Automatic Chronograph movement
Internal onboard b01 automatic timing movement, with 70 hours of power storage, and 47 ruby bearings, eccentric screw fine-tune the speed of a shock at a frequency of 28,800 per hour transfer; movement itself, using the column-wheel and vertical clutch structure, with advanced timing movement conditions, but also an increase in the escape wheel up and down a set of shock absorbers, so the overall design and specifications, seems to be in 4130 with rolex chronograph movement will compete. I operate in time according to the process, I found two of the push by the touch very clear and direct, but must be more forceful push in order to activate their function; while the large second hand timing the use of the process, and no bounce, jitter of occurrence, timing accuracy is indisputable.
