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.

yes, to wean themselves from ETA and to raise their prices.

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.
