Okay, let’s deal with the elephant in the room; Breiting have given this new Chronomat square counters! While some of you are gonna absolutely love them, many of you might be scratching your heads saying – why?

I appreciate the move to freshen up the Chronomat but the square counters just aren’t doing it for me – perhaps they’ll grow on me over time!

So what else is going on with this brand-new take on the ultimate sports chronograph? Its 44mm steel case has been treated by with a high-resistance carbon-based black coating as are many of Breiltling’s special editions divers.

The unidirectional rotational divers bezel now features black rubber-inlaid numerals, at 12 o’clock a large orange luminescent dot facilitates the countdown of dive time. The equally black dial boasts three new square counters; reminiscent of instrument panels, they are in line with Breitling aviation heritage.
