It is one of the brand’s Chronomat 44 collection, which is also known as Chronomat 01 series due to the Breitling Caliber 01 fitted inside. A large size for gents, this timepiece sports a solid, sturdy stainless steel case that measures 44 mm in diameter and around 17 mm thick, paired with a luxurious, Black, genuine leather bracelet that handsomely decorated with tonal stitching and comes equipped with a tang buckle clasp. The case comes with an uni-directional rotating bezel, a solid caseback, and screw down crown along with two push-buttons at its right hand side.
This Breitling AB011012/B956-435X has a bold, Black dial that not only makes it easy to goes with anything, but also such a pleasure in the eyes. Shielded with a quality sapphire glass, this dial features a central square decor in vertical patterning, silver tone Roman numeral hour markers, and three grey sub-dials with White printed markers. The dial’s hands and markers are coated with SuperLuminova so that they remain clearly visible in every light conditions. And in addition, there is also tachymeter scale on its inner bezel.
The heart of this Swiss automatic watch’s performance is the Caliber B01 fitted inside, which is an entirely developed and produced movement by Breitling. This self winding calibre contains 47 jewels, beats at 28,800 and provides a minimum power reserve of 70 hours under full wind. And in terms of precision as well as reliability, the Breitling Caliber 01 is a Chronometer grade. As can be easily seen through the dial, this calibre’s functionality offerings are hour, minute, and seconds, along with date at 4:30 and chronograph complications with 1/4th second scale, 30 minutes at three and 12 hours registers at six.
Just like every Chronomat 44, this steel on leather timepiece is indeed a tad bit heavy compared to the other similar models from other watch’s brands, however, you can be sure that it still comfortable to wear. And speaking of the pricing, this diving ready Breitling AB011012/B956-435X Chronomat 44 Chronograph watch has a sensible original manufacturer suggested retail price of $7,775.00.
