Introduced: 2010
Purpose / Inspiration: Part of Breitling’s Professional series, the Chronospace was created for aviators and tech-driven users who needed digital functionality and high legibility in a tough case. It revived the analog-digital hybrid format from watches like the B-1 and Airwolf, but with modern design and updated electronics.
Designer: Developed in-house during the final years of the Schneider family era, as a successor to the Airwolf and the larger B-1 platform.
Materials & Features:
- 48mm stainless steel case—bold and oversized for cockpit visibility.
- Powered by the Breitling Caliber 78 (SuperQuartz™, ETA-based)—extremely accurate, thermocompensated quartz.
- Features include:
▪️ Chronograph,
▪️ Dual time zones,
▪️ UTC,
▪️ Countdown timer,
▪️ Alarm,
▪️ Backlight,
▪️ Perpetual calendar. - Twin LCD screens paired with analog hands, all crown-controlled.
- Mesh bracelet or rubber strap options.
Discontinuation Status: Discontinued in the late 2010s. No direct replacement, though its role was absorbed by digital-first models like the Exospace B55 and Emergency II.
Brains Behind the Brawn: It’s not just big—it’s brilliant.
Digital Cockpit on Your Wrist: All the tools you’d want in-flight—without the glass canopy.
Quartz With Authority: SuperQuartz doesn’t lose time. It keeps you ahead of it.
Oversized for Oversight: Built for those who need to see—and act—fast.
