The new Breitling Blackbird

June 2006


For Breitling, the name Blackbird traditionally refers to a special series designed on the basis of the Chronomat, the brand’s flagship model. The new Blackbird is an original chronograph distinguished by the strength of its design. It radiates a personality all of its own within the Breitling wrist instrument collection. At the crossroads between aesthetics and technical complexity, the lines of its case are highlighted by the contrast between satin-brushed upper surfaces and polished sides.

The same is true of its ‘Blackbird special’ Pilot bracelet with its facetted profile. As its name implies, the Blackbird chronograph is fitted with a black dial only, a colour that contributes to its readability that is further enhanced by large hands and oversized luminescent hour-markers. Black bird’s legibility goes well beyond reading off the time. The calendar at 12 o’clock is composed of two separate indicators, one for tens and the other for units. This ‘large window’ calendar is driven by Breitling Calibre 44, chronometer-certified by the COSC.
