What Defines a Breitling

Explore the innovations and stories behind one of Switzerland's most storied watchmakers.

Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01

Introduced in 2009, the Caliber 01 was Breitling's first fully in-house movement and has become the industry benchmark for chronograph calibers. A column-wheel architecture and vertical clutch deliver precise, smooth chronograph operation — without the hand jumping common to lesser movements.

  • COSC-certified chronometer accuracy
  • Column-wheel and vertical clutch chronograph
  • 70+ hour power reserve on a single barrel
  • Up to 346 components, assembled by hand
  • 16-year accelerated aging equivalency testing
