The Watch

Here we have a 2023 Breitling Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar I19320, with a 44mm polished and brushed stainless steel and 18ct Red Gold case that curves over your wrist with bevel-edged tapered lugs. Inspired by the 1980s Chronomat that was created for various air acrobatic squadrons around the world. A lug-to-lug length of 53mm and a case thickness of 14.5mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. Down the right side we have the chronograph pushers with a ceramic insert and a ceramic twin gasket screw-down signed crown with a Red Gold "B" insert, the recessed pushers to adjust the moon-phase and calendar registers are also present on both the right and left sides. Prominent angular crown guards protect the crown. Brushed and polished surfaces transition with crisp flowing lines. A unidirectional ratcheted polished bezel has screw detailing to aid in grip and a ceramic 60-minute scale with the characteristic raised 15, 30, 45 and lume pip at 12 o’clock, the numerals and accents are outlined in 18ct Red gold. A flat sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides sits above a dynamic black dial, an outer Tachymeter chapter ring is precisely executed, surrounding an inner minute track with applied chamfer-edged 18ct Red Gold baton indexes infilled with SuperLumiNova marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a moon-phase register, adjusted with the top recessed pusher on the right, at 6 o’clock a day ring, adjusted by the bottom recessed pusher on the right and 12-hour register, at 9 o’clock month ring, adjusted by the top recessed pusher on the left and 30-minute register and finally at 12 o’clock date ring, adjusted by the bottom recessed pusher on the left and continuous seconds register, each clearly printed and outlined in 18ct Red Gold, sculpted 18ct Red Gold hands in filled with SuperLumiNova and complemented by an 18ct Red Gold red tipped chronograph hand with the “B” counterweight completes this versatile multidimensional sports calendar chronograph. On the reverse a polished and brushed screw-down case back with the details of the watch engraved around the edge, inside an automatic Breitling Cal. 19, 38 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour. The movement has a base of the ETA 2892-A2, the COSC Certified mechanism has a semi-perpetual calendar that needs adjusting just once every leap year. The watch comes paired with its fitted Breitling 22mm black Rubber Rouleaux-inspired strap with a signed deployment clasp, and the watch comes with its Breitling presentation box and paperwork.


Personal Note

At first glance, I thought this watch would be too big on my wrist, but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on and it fit comfortably! This is definitely a watch with a strong wrist presence! With an incredible 4-year calender what more could you want from your watch? I would suggest booking an appointment to try on this watch for yourself!


The Brand

Breitling was established in 1884 by Leon Breitling in the Swiss Jura Mountains. In 1915 Gaston Breitling introduced a pusher at 2 o’clock to start, stop and reset the chronograph. Leon later moved the reset to a pusher at 4 o’clock. In 1939 Breitling shipped a huge quantity of chronographs to the Royal Air Force. During the war with Germany surrounding Switzerland Leon and some friends created a makeshift runway near their factory. Planes would use the car's headlights as a guide to land. Once on the ground, they were quickly loaded, taking off before the Germans knew what was going on. They introduced the “Navitimer” a navigation computer in 1952 used to calculate a flight plan. In 1969 they collaborated with Heuer, Burne, and Dubois-Depraz on a top-secret project called Project 99. Together they developed one of the first self-winding chronograph movements. Breitling stands for high precision, outstanding performance, and functionality. During the early days of space exploration, Lt. Commander Scott Carpenter went around the earth three times whilst wearing a modified Navitimer. In 2017 they were sold to CVC Capital Partners, Europe's largest private equity firm.
