Breitling B01 Calibre
Breitling has just introduced it's first totally inhouse chronograph movement, the B01. Here's a link to their press release. http://www.breitling.com/calibreB01/..._Moleskine.pdf I'm not certain as to which series will receive the movement first but it is a huge step for Breitling to wean themselves from ETA with the upcoming changes in ETA distribution.

Its great too see such a brand as Breitling, finally starting to build their own in house movements. I wander which watch will have it fitted to first?
It shall certainly help Breitling become more self efficient and less reliant on ETA. Which imo can't be a bad thing.
