The Super Chronomat is Breitling's boldest Chronomat to date. Inspired by the Frecce Tricolori watch that Breitling created for the Italian Air Force's aerobatic fleet in 1983.
"This is a watch you'll get noticed in without having to worry about it," says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. "This watch is tough enough for every pursuit, but it won't get in the way of your sense of style."
True to the original Chronomat, the rider tabs protect the sapphire crystal. The ones at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock are interchangeable, so the wearer can use them for countdowns as well as countups. Key new features for these 44mm cased chronographs include a stainless-steel bezel with a ceramic insert a first on a Chronomat plus the choice of a Rouleaux-inspired rubber strap or a steel metal one with a butterfly clasp.
The new rubber strap is created with state-of-the-art injection molding techniques. Its three distinct textures matte, slick, and woven-looking give it remarkable depth.
THREE COLOR SCHEMES
The Super Chronomat B01 44 comes in three versions. Two are encased in stainless steel with blue or black dial-and-bezel combinations. The third is a rich brown dial-and-bezel combination with a case in 18kt red gold. All feature contrasting silver chronograph counters powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, which provides about 70 hours of power reserve. This Super Chronomat is water-resistant up to 200 meters.

For those wanting something extra special, there's a black dial version with a UTC-module embedded in a Rouleaux bracelet. Referring to Universal Time Coordinated, this provides a way to keep track of a second time zone and is a Breitling feature dating back to the 1980s.
ONCE EVERY LEAP YEAR
As its name implies, the Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar has a semi-perpetual calendar mechanism that needs adjusting just once every leap year or every 1,461 days. It comes in two versions: black dial with tone-on-tone chronograph counters, a stainless-steel bezel with a black ceramic bezel insert, and 18kt red gold elements, or blue dial featuring tone-on-tone chronograph counters and a bezel in 18kt red gold with a blue ceramic insert.
Water-resistant up to 100 meters, this timepiece is powered by the Breitling Caliber 19, a COSC-certified chronograph movement with a semi-perpetual calendar with day, date, month, and moonphase indicators.
