Getting back to the classics

Good Morning Everyone

A watch purchase I've been thinking about for some time. With one of the very first Breitling Chronomat B01 ref AB0110 from 2009 with its black dial, silver counters and white tachymeter scale nicknamed Tuxedo, this is a neo vintage collector's watch of very fine quality that I rarely if not never come across in my country.

Happy New Year's eve and Happy New Year 2026 to you all.

Best regards and stay safe

Georges

I don't have a that big wrist but I tend to wear larger watches, so nothing to worry about

Time for my own photos. The vintage Breitling cases manufactured from 2009 to 2013 were in Bakelite, the leather case on this one has not aged very well. This watch is one of the very first B01s, i.e. chronometry certificate, warranty card and yellow booklet, and as this watch was sold in Japan at the time, it incorporated the Breitling members' club card exclusive to the Japanese market.
