Hands-on: Breitling Chronomat 44 Blacksteel Special Edition Watch MB0111C3 Replica
Breitling, which has been producing aviation inspired chronographs since 1884, continues to make a distinguished name for itself in the watchmaking industry with many firsts. The Chronomat Collectioni which is debuted in 1994, is one of them having the title of being the first model that is equipped with a "circular sliding calculator". Here I will introduce to you one of the most special versions from this unique collection, Breitling Chronomat 44 blacksteel special edition watch MB0111C3 replica.
Blacksteel case models are classified under a special category within the Breitling product range. The brand's Blacksteel concept was born in 2008 with the Avenger Skyland model. In those years, I was quite impressed by that model thanks to my great interest about dark watches back in the day. Produced in limited edition with 2000 units, Skyland was a very attractive option for those looking for sporty themed watches with a 44mm case and red accents.
The movement can also be enjoyed through the sapphire crystal display case back. The model is water resistant to 200 meters. To have this rating the sapphire crystals are supported with screw-in winding crown and chronograph pushers. The case sports a uni-rotational bezel though the bezel does not feature the diving scale.
Special Dial
Well, what distinguishes this Breitling Chronomat timepiece MB0111C3 replica from the other Chronomat models? Of course, the case and the highly contrasting bright yellow dial are the first ones to mention. The Chronometer mark on the dial is a proud for the brand. The black sub-counters and the black date disk on the bright yellow dial are among the most beautiful details of the models.Blacksteel case models are classified under a special category within the Breitling product range.

DLC-coated Case
Breitling Chronomat 44 watch replica, as the name suggests, has a DLC-coated stainless-steel case with a diameter of 44mm. DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a PVD coating type which is basically coating the stainless-steel parts with a very hard alloy. Thanks to this coating, the surface hardness increases considerably compared to normal stainless steel. However, it is slightly different than you think in practice. Resistant to a certain degree of scratches, the coating and the case itself get damaged upon receiving stronger impacts.Double anti-reflective Coated Case
The 44mm diameter case measures 16.95mm meaning that it would suit better with a t-shirt or a sweater rather than a shirt’s sleeve. Double anti-reflective coated scratch resistant sapphire crystal on the front face provides a clean, reflection-free look. However, it is also prone to scratches due to the nature of the coating.Caliber B01 Movement
Breitling Chronomat 44 blacksteel special edition replica is powered by the in-house Caliber B01 like the other models in the collection. 47 jewels self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph) and offers an impressive 70 hours power reserve time when fully wound, despite being equipped with a single barrel only.The movement can also be enjoyed through the sapphire crystal display case back.
