Carrying the AB0136161C1A1 reference, this Breitling Super Chronomat blue replica sits at 44mm with a stainless steel case and a blue dial that places it squarely in the sport-luxury segment of the Chronomat family. The rouleaux-style bracelet and rider tabs on the bezel are Chronomat signatures that have defined the collection since its 1984 introduction, and this blue-dial version maintains both features while updating the proportions for current sizing preferences. A glossy blue bezel insert and blue inlays in the crown and pushers mark it as the Super Chronomat B01 44 rather than the older Chronomat 44. The Chronomat and Top Time section of our ranking lists the Super Chronomat 44 alongside the B01 42 models.

Rider Tabs and Rouleaux Links

The rider tabs serve as grip points for rotating the bezel while wearing gloves, a feature originally designed for pilots. The rouleaux bracelet uses rounded links that flex more naturally around the wrist than flat-link alternatives.

Clone Cal. B01 in the Super Chronomat 44

Breitling’s genuine B01 caliber runs at 28,800 vph with a column-wheel chronograph and a 70-hour power reserve; the clone Cal. B01 in this watch copies that layout and runs about 55 hours on a full wind. The movement appears across Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat lines, but the Super Chronomat case at 44mm gives it more wrist presence than the 42 mm models. The blue dial shifts between navy and cobalt depending on lighting, with the sub-dials at three, six, and nine maintaining a lighter tone for contrast. Place this next to the older two-tone Chronomat 44 with the blue Roman dial, which also measures 44mm and has a blue dial but uses the previous-generation case, a yellow-gold-tone bezel and a Pilot bracelet. The broader Chronomat collection includes both full-steel and mixed-metal variants across several dial colors.

Where the Breitling Super Chronomat Blue Replica Fits

The Chronomat occupies a middle lane between the dressy Premier and the tactical Avenger. At 44mm in full steel with a blue dial, the AB0136161C1A1 sits in a versatile configuration: large enough to read as a serious chronograph, polished enough for business settings. The rouleaux bracelet contributes significant comfort compared to standard three-link designs, distributing weight evenly across the wrist. This Breitling Super Chronomat blue replica is a balanced way into the collection for anyone who finds the Avenger too large and the Premier too formal.
