This year marks the 140th anniversary of Breitling's founding and the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Chronomat, and a second Japan-limited model has been released to celebrate these two anniversaries. The Chronomat B01 42, featuring a new color palette, features a one-tone color scheme with an icy gray dial and gray rubber strap. This model is perfect for connoisseurs who appreciate understated distinction. The case back of this new model is engraved with "ONE OF 150," indicating the limited production number. Naturally, the movement is Breitling's in-house developed and manufactured movement, Cal. 01, which is a COSC-certified chronometer.
