With its two superimposed central chronograph hands, one of which can be stopped to measure an intermediate (split) time before catching up (rattraper in French) with the other, the split-second chronograph is considered one of the most challenging watchmaking mechanisms to create. Accordingly, this "grand complication" is generally produced in small series and requires watchmakers to perform a lengthy process of adjustment and rating (correcting the clearance of the split-second wheel and pinion, adapting the tension of the springs, adjusting the degree of penetration of the clamps, etc.).
Technical Specifications:
The case, in stainless steel, measures 45mm x 15.7mm. It has a domed AR-coated sapphire crystal and it is water resistant to 30 meters. Bidirectional bezel with circular slide rule.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Breitling in-house caliber B03 with 47 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserv of 70 hours. This newly developed caliber split-second mechanism features just 28 parts. It is COSC- certified as a chronometer. Functions are: hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Chronograph: split-second chronograph, ratchet wheel control, vertical coupling, 30-minute and 12-hour counters.
The dial is Stratos gray with SuperLuminova hour markers, hour and minute hands. The Breitling logo is divided between two of the hands. The B is on the red chronograph hand, while the anchor sits on the split-second hand. As a result, the two elements of the logo are separated when the split-second hand is stopped and reform when the hands realign.
It comes on a black alligator leather strap with a steel folding or pin buckle.
