The Breitling Chronomat 44 Blackbird, reference A44360 / A4436010 / BB71, is a bold and highly distinctive chronograph produced in a limited edition of 2,000 pieces worldwide. Inspired by the legendary SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, this model combines stealth aesthetics with Breitling’s proven chronograph engineering. This certified pre-owned luxury watch is presented in very good condition and is offered with the original box only.

The watch is housed in a 44 mm stainless steel case finished with a black DLC coating, delivering a powerful, matte appearance while enhancing surface durability. The signature Chronomat rider-tab bezel reinforces the model’s aviation DNA and provides immediate visual recognition. The black dial features contrasting accents for optimal legibility, with large applied hour markers and bold hands filled with luminous material. The chronograph layout is balanced and intuitive, complemented by a discreet date display.

Powering the watch is the Breitling Calibre 44, an automatic in-house chronograph movement based on the renowned B01 architecture. Featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch, this calibre offers smooth chronograph engagement, excellent reliability, and a robust approximately 70-hour power reserve. It is COSC-certified, ensuring chronometric precision that meets Breitling’s professional standards.

The watch is fitted with a black rubber strap, perfectly matching the stealth aesthetic while providing comfort and security on the wrist. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the solid construction guarantees a water resistance of 200 metres, making the Blackbird suitable for daily wear as well as more demanding conditions.

This pre-owned Breitling Chronomat 44 Blackbird Limited Edition, reference A44360, represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a rare, aviation-inspired chronograph with strong collector appeal within the world of pre-owned luxury watches.
