http://www.thewatchbox.com • Reborn for 2011, the Breitling Transocean line has become the Solothurn watchmaker's go-to for enthusiasts who prefer classical Breitling style and heritage-inspired design. If big bling isn't your thing, the Breitling Transocean Chronograph Unitime may be the Breitling for you. • The Transocean Unitime combines Breitling's in-house B05 world time chronograph movement with a 46mm steel case that pays homage to great mid-century Breitlings of the company's salad days in La Chaux-de-Fonds. During the 1950s and 1960s, the company's Chronomat, Navitimer, and Superocean professional watches were associated with world-wandering adventure, and the Transocean Chronograph Unitime draws upon this heritage to inspire its unique aesthetic. • True to its name, the Breitling Transocean Chronograph Unitime pairs a chronograph stopwatch mechanism with a world time complications. Each of the 24 reference cities on the world time chapter ring represents one of the world's 24 principal time zones. A 24-hour timing ring rotates counterclockwise and allows the user to read instantly the time in any city of the world; the hour in each city is the hour adjacent to the city name on the 24-hour ring. • Breitling's world time complication benefits from the expansive and high-contrast black dial. With so much real estate available (thank the decidedly non-retro 46mm case), Breitling is able to expand the city names, calibrations, and hour indices to a readable scale. Few world time watches offer such ease of use. • Moreover, a stylized projection of an aviator's world chart graces the center dial; its a welcome flourish that enhances the romantic ambiance of an already evocative timepiece. • Breitling's in-house caliber B05 movement provides motive power to the Transocean Chronograph Unitime's mass of complications. With a 70-hour power reserve, date, automatic winding, and innovative architecture, the B05 ensures that nostalgic style notwithstanding, this Breitling belongs to the 21st century. • Breitling completes the period character of the Transocean Chronograph Unitime with a sublime Ocean Classic chain mesh bracelet. Simultaneously tough and silky smooth, the bracelet is a dead-ringer for the versatile mesh unit that saw service on Breitling sports watches during the 50s and 60s. • See this Breitling Transocean Chronograph Unitime in high-resolution images with all Breitling factory boxes, manuals, and accessories on www.thewatchbox.com Video and content by Tim Mosso
