Stamped Édition Spéciale on its caseback, this blacked-out chronograph comes from a discontinued run that Breitling never brought back. Stealth collectors get something genuinely scarce here, an all-black Chronomat with fiery red accents that no current catalog replaces. End-of-an-era pieces like this deserve a long, hard look.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against the onyx black dial, vintage-tone cream lume plots and red counter hands create a cockpit look that glows bright green in the dark. Carved from stainless steel with a DLC finish, the 44mm case pairs a satin-brushed bezel with polished rider tabs that flash against the matte shadow of the case. Wrapped around the wrist, the Breitling-signed black rubber strap secures with a blacked-out folding deployant clasp for a seamless head-to-toe stealth profile.
Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronograph, tachymeter, and a unidirectional rotating bezel. Power comes from Breitling Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve and 200 meters of water resistance. Unscrew the crown to give 20 to 30 winds in position 1, then pull to position 2 to quick-set the date to yesterday. Pull to position 3, roll the hands past midnight until the date flips, set the time, and screw it back down. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the counters at 3 and 6, and the red hand at 9 runs the small seconds.
Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with the brown leather travel roll, international warranty certificate booklet, chronometer certificate, and Chronomat instruction manual.
Red instruments on an all-black cockpit, built to be flown daily rather than parked in a safe. Discontinued stealth-profile pieces like this are what separate a daily wearer from a watch you hunt for years. When something this bold lands in front of you, it’s simple, do not let it get away.
