Breitling Wonderful Combination - Quartz + Semi-perpetual Calendar Movement

The new 44mm Breitling Super Chronomat watch. This watch has changed the design style of the Breitling mechanical chronograph series in the past, and bold innovative attempts have injected new vitality into the mechanical chronograph series.

The crown guard of the Breitling Super Chronomat uses a square design instead of the rounded arc before, which is more refined and capable. What impressed me most is the UTC sub-dial on the strap. It is more like a “sub-disk” driven by a quartz movement. It can not only be used as a comparison display of the two places, but also When the power of the main dial is insufficient, "emergency" check the time and use it for calibration. The metal strap uses a popular design from the 1980s, and this replica shape is actually a tribute to the classic.

Breitling's prestigious b01 chronograph movement, this chronograph movement is widely used in Breitling's major series, it can be said that it has withstood time and experience. The b01 movement adopts a two-way winding design, a ball bearing autopilot, and a single barrel provides a power reserve of about 70 hours. The use of column wheel and vertical clutch design has the advantages of reducing wear and reducing the shaking of the hands when starting the chronograph function. At the same time, shock absorbers are also used on the escape wheel to improve shock resistance. It is undoubtedly a mature choice to apply it to the new 44mm mechanical chronograph series this time.

In addition, the Breitling Super Chronomat watch is equipped with a Breitling 19 movement, which is developed based on ETA 2892-A2, and has the functions of chronograph, day, date, month and moon phase display. It is worth mentioning that the "semi-perpetual calendar" function can continuously and accurately run for 4 years (1461 days) without interruption to distinguish between large and small months. There is no need to manually adjust according to the calendar every month. It only needs to be carried out on February 29th in a leap year. One adjustment, hence the name "Semi-Perpetual Calendar".
