Breitling’s Chronomat Collection Gets Another In-House Caliber

Breitling Chronomat GMT automatic watch

With its 2011 Chronomat GMT chronograph Breitling presents its new in-house movement, the Caliber B04.

The new limited edition Louis Moinet Geograph (ref. LM-24.10.60) offers a durable and dependable work-horse movement in an exquisitely designed and flawlessly executed case.

If the price wasn't an issue, I think I would be throwing cash right into my monitor instead of writing this brief review.
