Breitling Montbrillant 01 Limited Edition

The First of a New Kind

Breitling Montbrillant 01 Limited edition (of 2000 pieces) watch is an exciting new timepiece, that will be unveiled in March at Baselworld 2011 show. New Breitling Montbrillant 01 is the latest landmark for Montbrillant chronograph timepieces, since it is the very first model to be equipped with Caliber 01. This excellent performing movement was designed and produced exclusively by Breitling Company in its own facilities.

breitling-montbrillant-01-limited-edition-dialThis limited series, which has a distinct touch of accomplishment and success, is heavily influenced by a retro style and by the elegant models of the 1940s and the 1950s. Besides, it includes winged B in retro style (the brand’s official symbol in the first half of 20th century). Montbrillant 01 watches also feature a circular slide rules intended for pilots.

The name itself derives from the address of Breitling’s former workshops, which used to be located on Montbrillant Street in La Chaux-de-Fonds, from 1892 to 1979. This is the place where new inventions were created, which changed the face of wrist-worn chronographs. These improvements include the first (1915) and the second (1934) independent pushpiece, as well as the first self-winding chronograph from 1969.

Breitling onboard chronographs that gave this watchmaker every right to be recognized as “the official supplier for world aviation” were also constructed in workshops at Montbrillant Street.  Today, the name Montbrillant is once again connected to the brand’s important new achievement – incorporating Breitling’s new Caliber 01, the most efficient and reliable self-winding chronograph.

Twin Limited Editions

Montbrillant 01 Breitling watch is produced with stainless steel case (middle sized with 40 millimeters in diameter). This limited edition consists of 2000 pieces. Another version, in a red gold case, is even more exclusive (only 200 pieces).

Breitling Montbrillant 01 has a Mercury Silver dial and the usual 1/100th second counter in the center. The crystal is glareproof cambered sapphire, and it has a rotating bidirectional bezel with a slide rule.

This timepiece also has over 70-hour power reserve, calendar function and 30 meters water resistance. The bracelet is made of barenia leather (also available with crocodile leather, steel Navitimer and Air Racer).

    I hope I will be able to get one of these since there are so few available models! It looks really classy, I really love watches with retro design. Also, it’s really nice to have this transparent case back and be able to see the movement. I actually prefer the stainless-steel version, so I’ll try to get my hands on one of those. :-) Though, I am pretty sure I will not test its water resistance, seems too precious for that!

    I hope that this watch will be a real birthday present for my husband. I am sure that this wonderful retro watch in red gold case complement his lifestyle. I am happy because I found an ideal gift for my husband.

    Steel and brown leather in a retro style are my long awaited dream! This watch is for true lovers of retro style. Thank you for existing!

  4. Leon September 23, 2011

    My dad had a similar watch…and I think that retro design looks very special. This style is very elegant and serious in my opinion. This watch presents exclusive achievement of historic watches.
    I’ll be glad to sea this new model on my hand!

    I would like to hear some owner’s experiences about readability of its dial. It looks so overcrowd and hard to read.
