The Breitling Super Chronomat takes the Chronomat’s rider-tab bezel and Rouleaux bracelet and gives them a more muscular setting, with ceramic on the bezel, crown and chronograph pushers. It’s a watch for someone who likes the Chronomat’s unmistakable silhouette but wants the bigger, bolder expression rather than the restrained one.

The steel AB0136 is a useful starting point: its Breitling B01 gives you the manufacture chronograph without the busier dial of the Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar. That calendar version deserves a closer look if you enjoy mechanical complications, but it isn’t perpetual and needs correction in leap years. Bracelet choice changes the character considerably: the metal Rouleaux gives those rounded links their full visual weight, while the moulded rubber alternative echoes their shape. At 44mm, pay attention to how the case sits across your wrist; diameter alone won’t tell the whole story.

What owners love

  • The Rouleaux bracelet is a recurring favorite: its rounded links feel supple on the wrist and make this big watch more comfortable than its dimensions suggest. It also gives the Super Chronomat a noticeably different feel from the usual flat-link sports bracelet.
  • The ceramic bezel and rubber inserts on the crown and pushers give it a more overtly sporty look than the regular Chronomat. Owners who like that direction tend to appreciate how those details tie together, particularly on the matching textured rubber strap.

Common Criticisms

  • It is a substantial watch, especially in steel on the bracelet, and owners do bring up the weight and thickness. The comfortable bracelet helps, but it does not make the 44mm case feel small or particularly easy to tuck under a close-fitting cuff.
