Chronomat with B01 movement.
Just wondering what the Breitling experts here think of the chronomat as a daily wear/beater.

I don't own one, but I would absolutely take the chronomat 44 in black with white subdials or in all white.
Ultimately, I chose the navitimer 01, but I do hope to own a chronomat in one of the layouts I mentioned. My navitimer has the same movement, and it's accuracy is spot on. Plus 2 seconds a day; if I lay it with the crown up overnight it loses 2 seconds and is back to spot on. Power reserve of three days is great too! |

Great watch. The chronomats are awesome.
Bought this evolution back in 2006 and won't get rid of it |

I just bought one. I find it works great daily. Mines the polished. I find in reality it looks less blingy than in the pictures.

I'm on my second B01. It makes a great daily wearer as it's big, but well balanced. Also lots of cool configurations and strap choices. My latest is the LE which is all brushed - love it!

Thanks for all the input!! Does anybody find the thickness of the chronomat to be an issue in daily wear?

I have the Chronomat 41. I don't find it an issue at all.
