To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of its wrist chronograph, Breitling is offering a limited series of the Transocean with a new in-house calibre. This is not a simple re-edition of the 1915 model, the first chronograph to be activated by an independent pushpiece, but rather a reinterpretation of it in both technical and aesthetic terms. The famous chronograph pusher at 2 o'clock is still present, but with an elongated and more functional form that successively starts, stops and resets the chronograph functions. For this, the unprecedented hand-wound B14 movement with double column wheel, whose particular architecture is patent pending, was developed. The vintage touch offered by the two continuous seconds and chronograph minute counters on the dial, surrounded by large Arabic numeral hourmarkers, is reinforced by the antique Breitling signature at 12 o'clock and the Milanese mesh-style steel bracelet. The sapphire crystal caseback is engraved with "100e anniversaire 1915-2015". There are 1,915 pieces available for this watch.
