In 2021, Breitling introduced a new addition to its Chronomat collection — the Chronomat B01 42 Ice Blue. This model marks the first time the collection features an “Ice Blue” dial, paired with a platinum bezel in matching cool tones — a refreshing combination perfectly suited for the height of summer. Official Breitling Website The 42 mm stainless steel case features a mix of polished and satin-brushed finishes, while the unidirectional rotating bezel is crafted from platinum, lending the watch a touch of refined luxury. Four distinctive rider tabs are positioned on the bezel; notably, the “15” and “45” tabs are interchangeable, allowing the wearer to easily switch between count-up and countdown timing functions. Thanks to its screw-down crown, the watch is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it both elegant and robust enough for everyday wear. The ice-blue dial is finished with a sunburst pattern, and features black subdials arranged in Breitling’s signature 3-6-9 layout — a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter and date window at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. The central chronograph seconds hand is rendered in blue, harmonizing with the main dial tone. A tachymeter scale runs along the outer edge for precise speed measurement. Inside beats the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 01 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offering a 70-hour power reserve. Paired with a black rubber strap, the Chronomat B01 42 Ice Blue is priced at≈ 7933 €— a perfect blend of sportiness, sophistication, and summer style.
