DescriptionThe Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 (AB0138211B1P1) is driven by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a self-winding mechanical movement with a chronograph function. This COSC-certified chronometer vibrates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and boasts an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The movement, comprised of 47 jewels, features a 1/4th second, 30-minute, and 12-hour chronograph counters. A discreet date aperture is positioned at the 6 o'clock marker.

Encasing this intricate mechanism is a robust stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter and with a thickness of 13.69mm. The watch features a cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensuring optimal readability. The caseback is also transparent, secured with screws and fitted with a sapphire crystal, allowing the wearer to admire the movement within. A bidirectional slide rule bezel, a defining characteristic of the Navitimer series, enables complex mathematical calculations. The crown, equipped with two gaskets for enhanced water resistance, is non-screw-locked. With a water resistance rating of 3 bar, the watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water. The watch head weighs approximately 77.2g, while the total weight, including the strap, comes to approximately 98g. The distance between the lugs is 22mm.

Completing the design is a black alligator leather strap, adding a touch of elegance. The strap, secured by an 18mm stainless steel folding clasp, is straight-cut and seamlessly integrates with the lugs, which measure 22/18mm. The overall height of the watch, measured from the tip of the upper lug to the tip of the lower lug, is 49.07mm.
