Breitling Chronomat B01 42 SS Blue Dial

Reference PB0134101C1S2 is the modern Chronomat B01 42 in its steel and platinum configuration, pairing the line's rider-tab bezel architecture with a blue dial and Breitling's black rubber Rouleaux-style strap. The current Chronomat line traces back to the 2020 relaunch that reintroduced one of Breitling's foundational post-1980s designs in a more refined everyday-sport format. Inside is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a self-winding chronograph movement with a column wheel, vertical clutch architecture, COSC certification, and approximately 70 hours of power reserve. That movement matters because it marked Breitling's transition from heavily modified outsourced chronographs to a true in-house flagship caliber with modern serviceability and strong daily-wear performance. The 42 mm case uses stainless steel for the main body and a platinum bezel, a material contrast that gives this reference a noticeably more elevated presence than the all-steel versions in the same family. On the dial, the blue register works especially well with the applied baton markers, red chronograph seconds hand, and tricompax layout, preserving the Chronomat's instrument-first character without losing versatility. Breitling rates the watch to 200 meters, and the screw-locked crown, sapphire display back, and substantial case profile place it firmly in the category of luxury sport chronographs built for regular use rather than occasional wear. This is not a limited edition, and I could not verify any country-only or boutique-only production context for this specific reference, so it is best understood as a core catalog execution of the Chronomat B01 42. For collectors, the appeal is straightforward: a contemporary Breitling chronograph with the brand's signature bezel design, one of its most important modern manufacture calibers, and a sharper precious-metal accent than the standard steel model.
