Caliber 10

About the Breitling Caliber 10

The 2892 is a millimetre thinner than the 2824 the Caliber 17 is built on, and the 2892 piece explains why that millimetre matters: it is the base maisons choose when the case has to stay slim. Breitling's version runs at 28,800 vph with a 42-hour reserve and 21 jewels, at 25.6 mm across, supplied by ETA or Sellita depending on the year, and every one is COSC-certified.

In the library it sits under 33 Chronomat Automatic 36 references, the three-hand Chronomat of 2020 on the Rouleaux bracelet, 21 Superocean Heritage '57 references, whose domed 1957-styled case needed the thinner base, 10 Transocean 38s and 5 Superocean Heritages. The 36 mm case is the most common at 38 references, then 42 mm at 16 and 43 mm at 10. 13 of the 70 are limited editions.

The Caliber 49 and Caliber 37 are the big-date and small-seconds movements on the same 2892 base.
