In Context

At 38 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 13.07 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 70 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

AB01773A1B1X1 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black matte dial with a stainless steel case. It was a limited edition.

The B01 ND is Breitling's in-house chronograph without its date, the version of the B01 fitted to the Top Time. It powers 23 watches in this library, every one a Top Time. The [B01](/calibers/breitling-caliber-b01) is a column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch, a 70-hour reserve and a beat of 28,800 vph, certified by the COSC; leaving out the date removes the window at 4 o'clock and lets the Top Time keep the two-register "Zorro" dial of the 1964 original. The jewel count drops to 40. In the library it powers 23 [Top Time](/brands/breitling/top-time) references: the Classic Cars series for the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette and Shelby Cobra, the Fausto Coppi and the FC Bayern editions, at 41 mm and 38 mm. 10 are limited editions. The [B01](/calibers/breitling-caliber-b01) is the dated movement in the rest of the range, and the [B31](/calibers/breitling-caliber-b31) the three-hand movement of the Top Time B31.

22 other watches in the library run the Breitling Caliber B01 ND.
