More about Breitling:
The Breitling Datora is a model with a long production history that was available in a wide range of designs and complications. The Datora models of the 1940s were among the most elegant complicated wristwatches being produced at the time - available as a triple date chronograph or chronograph with moon phase, often oversized (for that time), and blended the line between sport and dress.
Starting in the 1960s, Breitling began releasing a number of new chronograph models and expanding on the range of current models with a variety of dial designs. At this time, the Datora line took on a more sporty look and feel with large steel cases and more striking and playful dial colors, including two subdials in an elliptic black "surfboard" background . Some references were the typical circular case shape, while others were the bullhead or squared shape. Unlike most chronographs, the Datora featured a 45-minute register, instead of the more common 30-minute register.
The present watch is a 2021 revival of the 1940s-era Datora. The 42mm stainless steel case houses the brand-new B25 caliber, a manual-wind movement, featuring an improved calendar drive mechanism and refined finishing throughout. The dial recalls the elegant symmetry of the original 1940s references: applied Arabic numerals, syringe hands, an outer tachymeter scale, and sub-dials carrying the day, date, month, and a moon phase display.
