This replica chronomat cb011012b gold pairs an 18k rose gold bezel with a stainless steel case to create a two-tone chronograph in the 44mm Chronomat format. The CB011012B957 reference features a black dial with contrasting gold subdial registers, gold-tone hands, and a matching two-tone Pilot bracelet that alternates steel and gold links. At 44mm, the watch occupies the larger end of the current Chronomat range, where the added diameter gives the rose gold bezel proportionally more visual real estate on the wrist.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case diameter: 44mm
• Case material: stainless steel with 18k rose gold bezel
• Dial: black with gold-tone subdials

The rider tabs on the gold bezel are functional, not merely decorative. They allow bezel rotation even with gloves, a feature inherited directly from the original 1984 Chronomat designed for the Italian Frecce Tricolori aerobatic display team.

Caliber Breakdown

Breitling equips the 44mm Chronomat with its proprietary automatic chronograph caliber featuring a column-wheel mechanism and roughly 70-hour power reserve. The column wheel ensures smooth, consistent chronograph pusher feel compared to lever-actuated alternatives found in less expensive movements. Two-tone finishing extends to the movement rotor, which carries gold plating visible through an exhibition caseback on the original model. For a full-steel alternative at a smaller diameter, see the 42mm Chronomat AB0134101G. The complete range is available in the Chronomat collection.

How It Compares

Among two-tone Breitling references, the Chronomat CB011012B sits between the dressy Premier and the utilitarian Avenger in terms of character and intended use. The gold bezel lifts it above pure sport territory while the 44mm steel case body and robust Pilot bracelet keep it grounded as a credible daily-wear chronograph. This replica chronomat cb011012b gold delivers the mixed-metal aesthetic with enough mechanical substance to justify the visual weight it carries on wrist.
