specialvat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Coming out soon with new in house movement, pics from Breitling. CHRONOMAT B01
MasterOfPuppets Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 never been a breitling fan, but if they ever rep that, ill be the first to get it! looks beautiful, to me because it has a new concept
Guest asim Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 oh wow!!!! that looks stunning! im also interested in the specs for the in-house mvmt. i'll try and research on that! but that combo in the pic is mouth watering!!!! not 100% sure about the numbering on the bezel, but apart from that... *stares at pic*
importr Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Whoooooaaarrrr!! I'm getting hard!! I'm gettin hard!!!! looks lovely, I like the sub dial details and the central Breitling texts etc., but although the bezel design & font is uber-cool, the bezel itself it all but useless as a timing feature!

importr Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Also, the Date font. Do you think it is a deliberate "dummy" to throw off the reppers? So the actual production model comes out with the traditional B'ling font?
Guru1 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I like it a lot. You can download the specs here hxxp://www.breitling.com/chronomatb01/index_de.html Can't wait to try it on during Basel world this weekend
importr Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 You're going to Basel?? Dang, I wanted to go, but all flights (from near me) are sold out On second thoughts about the bezel font...does it cheapen the look? Like, in an effort to make it appeal to the TAG owners, is it a risky change. A change for changes sake????
rogerthat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 This is the new BCE I guess? Not sure I love the engraved numbers on the bezel, but it will probably look great in person, everything else does. The date font does not look as good as their previous font, maybe actual production models will not use the font pictured.
jfreeman420 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 The bezel font is very futuristic via 70's sci fi esque. Cheapens the watch IMO. I also like the 12, 9, 6 dial configuration better. Does anyone really believe that Breitling is going to manufacture an entire movement in house? Still looks like a 7750 base to me. I could be wrong. Could they have repped the 7750 movement? Could this be a result of shortages from ETA?
alanytical Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 That groovy NASA space font from 1969 on the bezel is far out man. No, not really. Well, at least the rep makers can't mess up that gigantic pearl lume blob...
HauteHippie Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Well, at least the rep makers can't mess up that gigantic pearl lume blob... Oh ye of little faith!
Guru1 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 should be easy to rep, new hands, new bezel and new dial .........the rest is available They will probably forget the datewheel and this is why the v2 will come out
andreww Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Not a big fan of the stick marker version but the Roman Numeral version looks hot!
nasosn Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 It's very nice, it's a "fresh" brand new watch but i don't know how it would stand up against the old one as some members here stated that bezel makes the watch lose its classy appeal and i agree!
andreww Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 I still think it looks classy, but just a little more sporty. Makes the watch a little more versatile IMO.
nasosn Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 I still think it looks classy, but just a little more sporty. Makes the watch a little more versatile IMO. Versatile?? Certainly Andreww, i still love it but taken into account that it has an in-house movement made of 45 rubis it will be expensive to buy as a gen
bigpops Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 I think it's horrid. If that's supposed to be a replacement for the Chronomat (Evo) then they've dropped the ball big time. The bezel looks like it belongs on a
turboGUATE Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 I personally don't like the bezel numbers (it makes the watch less elegant that it is with its new dial) and not to mention the great effort made to have their own movement inside. Which by the way they say they can massively produce, so don't expect stratospheric prices on the gen (well... just a tad bit more than what you would pay for a gen Evo ). Here are the pics of the movement. Cheers!
FxrAndy Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Got to agree with most, i realy dont like the bezel numbering
Corgi Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 The roman numeral one makes the '09 Everose daytonas look like poo.
