Question 1

What is the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Triumph?

Accepted Answer

It is a special edition of the Chronomat B01 42 created in collaboration with the British motorcycle brand Triumph, conceived as the wrist companion to Triumph's limited-run Speed Triple RR motorcycle (just 270 examples). It comes in the Chronomat's highest specification to date, with a titanium and 18k red gold case.
Triumph cues run throughout: a discreet Triumph shield on the central chronograph hand's counterweight, a "Triumph Edition" engraving on the caseback, and a perforated calfskin leather strap that mirrors the bike's detailing. It pairs the Chronomat's tool-watch DNA with motorcycling heritage.

Question 2

What materials and dial does the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph use?

Accepted Answer

The 42 mm case, bezel and lugs are crafted in titanium, while the crown, push-pieces and the ring framing the bezel are executed in 18k red gold—a unique material combination on a Chronomat. It features an anthracite/grey dial with three chronograph counters and a date, a unidirectional ratcheted rider-tab bezel, a tachymeter scale, and a perforated brown calfskin leather strap finished with a folding titanium clasp, echoing the Speed Triple RR's own detailing.

Question 3

What movement is inside the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph and is it COSC-certified?

Accepted Answer

Like the standard model, it is powered by the in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, an automatic chronograph with a column wheel and vertical clutch. It beats at 4 Hz (28,800 vph), delivers approximately 70 hours of power reserve, and is officially COSC-certified for chronometer accuracy of -4/+6 seconds per day. The chronograph offers a 1/8-second central hand plus 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers, and the movement is visible through a sapphire caseback bearing the edition engraving.

Question 4

Is the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph water resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes—it shares the Chronomat's 200 meter (20 bar) water resistance and screw-down crown, so it is well protected against everyday water exposure and swimming. That said, this is a premium titanium-and-gold edition comes standard on a perforated leather strap, so prolonged immersion is not recommended and would shorten the strap's life. Keep the crown screwed down before any contact with water and have the seals tested at each service.

Question 5

How do I operate and set the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph?

Accepted Answer

Use the pusher at 2 o'clock to start and stop the chronograph and the one at 4 o'clock to reset it. To set the watch, unscrew the crown, pull it to the first position to change the date and to the second to set the time, then push and screw it back down to restore water resistance. As a self-winding automatic, it winds through wrist motion; if stopped, wind it about 30 to 40 turns clockwise before resetting. Avoid changing the date between roughly 9 PM and 3 AM.

Question 6

What is the story behind the Breitling and Triumph collaboration?

Accepted Answer

The Chronomat itself dates to 1984, when Breitling made a bold bet on an impressively proportioned mechanical chronograph at the height of the quartz era, celebrating the brand's centenary and reaffirming its Chronomat heritage. The Triumph edition extends that spirit of engineering confidence into a partnership with the iconic British motorcycle maker: the watch is designed as the companion to the limited 270-piece Speed Triple RR, with shared design language. Owners of the bike can even order a made-to-order carbon-dial "owners' edition" through Breitling.

Question 7

What warranty applies to the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph?

Accepted Answer

With its in-house mechanical movement, it qualifies for Breitling's extended warranty—a 5-year international warranty extendable to 8 years if registered on Breitling.com within 3 months, subject to registration and to a water-resistance test every two years performed by an authorized Breitling service center (complimentary). As a special edition with precious-metal elements, always have servicing, repairs and strap changes carried out by an authorized Breitling boutique to preserve both the watch's condition and warranty validity.
