Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43mm Stainless Steel Black Dial – Ref. AB01194A1B1X1
The Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph Ref. AB01194A1B1X1 is a distinctive tribute to aviation heritage, offered by Geneva Watch Company. Its 43mm stainless steel case is paired with a bidirectional black ADLC-coated bezel and a brown calfskin leather strap, creating a striking contrast of rugged and refined elements. The black dial features luminous silver-tone hands and Arabic numeral hour markers, complemented by three contrasting silver chronograph sub-dials and a date display between 4 and 5 o’clock. A transparent case back reveals the mechanical movement within, completing this aviation-inspired design.
The 43mm stainless steel case, measuring 13.97mm in thickness, houses the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 automatic chronometer movement. Comprising 346 components and 47 jewels, and operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The column-wheel chronograph mechanism powers the 60-second, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, alongside the date function. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a screw-locked crown and 100-metre water resistance provide added durability.
