Breitling launches a new unique model that harkens to the days of yore, well, more like the 50’s and 60’s. The new Breitling Transocean Chronograph B01 draws from the styles of the old Transocean from 1958 and will be launched as a Limited Edition of 2000 pieces in steel and 200 pieces in rose gold both with exhibition casebacks. There will be a regular series as well launched afterwards that will have a standard solid caseback.
It seems that Breitling will use the Exhibition casebacks as a feature of Limited Edition models for the time being as this appears to be the trend they are embarking on. I have to say that this is a truly beautiful watch that really is catching my eye… I am very inclined to try and purchase one of these. Not sure what the pricing is, but I think I would really like to try and get one.. Great work on this one, Breitling!
