THE EXCLUSIVE CALIBER B31
The new Caliber B31 represents a return to the fundamentals of watchmaking, delivering robust performance in a sleek, modern form. As the first Breitling-designed and developed manufacture three-hand movement, it builds on the mechanical ingenuity established with the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01—the industry benchmark for chronograph movements, introduced in 2009.
PRECISION, POWER, AND A NEW ERA FOR BREITLING
Four years in the making, the new three-hand Caliber B31 brings enhanced reliability in a new 28 mm x 4.8 mm dimension. Its unique architecture incorporates Breitling’s instantly recognizable signature components: the free-sprung balance wheel for improved precision, and the skeletonized bidirectional oscillating weight powering the automatic movement. Engineered to impress, these features are visible through the watch’s open caseback, with elements finished in Geneva stripes and perlage.
TIME TESTED, FUTURE READY
This new automatic caliber reinforces Breitling’s reputation as a technical leader. Like all Breitling movements, the B31 is a COSC-certified chronometer, ensuring exceptional accuracy. And as a manufacture caliber, it undergoes a further 16-year aging simulation that includes 100,000 crown winds, 3,456,000 weight turns, and 60,000 shocks at 500 G, among other extreme challenges. The movement stays powered for an approximate 78 hours off the wrist and comes backed by a five-year warranty.
The introduction of the B31 is a further step in Breitling’s evolution toward exclusively offering manufacture movements—it’s a new caliber for a new era of watchmaking.
