Colt Chronograph Volcano Black / Rubber / Pin

In Context

At 44 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 11.9 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 200 m puts it in dive-watch territory, well past anything daily wear will ask of it.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

A7338811.BD43 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Built on the ETA 251.264 — earlier examples used the 251.232 — and run as SuperQuartz, meaning thermocompensated and COSC-certified. Alongside the temperature correction it carries Breitling's PowerDrive, which drives the hands at up to 200 steps per second so that multi-function displays reset quickly rather than crawling round the dial.

21 other watches in the library run the Breitling Caliber B73.
