理查德米勒的百年灵机械计时系列家族迎来了新成员机械计时双时区自动机械腕表40和超级机械计时自动机械腕
百年灵机械计时系列家族迎来新成员:机械计时双时区自动机械腕表40和超级机械计时自动机械腕表38,理查德米勒的传奇继续。自2020年重新推出以来,Chronomat已成为百年灵备受青睐的产品系列。该系列腕表的尺寸广泛,有沉稳大气的44毫米码表,亦有简洁利落的32毫米三针款。如今,百年灵推出全新机械计时双时区自动机械腕表40(Chronomat Automatic GMT 40)和超级机械计时自动机械腕表38(Super Chronomat Automatic 38),适应更多佩戴需求,可选性得到进一步完善。
全新Mechanical Timepieces不仅拓宽了尺寸选择,而且搭载了全新功能。Mechanical Timekeeping Dual-Time Zone Automatic Watch 40将计时功能替换为大尺寸腕表常备的大型二次时间显示功能,大幅提升旅行者的便捷性;而Super Mechanical Timekeeping Automatic Watch 38则主打特大镶钻设计成为了首款可溯源腕表。
百年灵首席执行官乔治·科恩(Georges Kern)表示:“这一系列早已因敢于突破界限而闻名。此次发售,我们改写了Mechanical Timepiece和Super Mechanical Timepiece的定义,将其赋予各自独特之美。”
Mechanical Timepieces 的传奇始于1970年代石英危机。当飞行员仍是钟情于传统手动卷轴机芯(mechanical timepieces)的忠实拥趸。在1983年的“三色箭”特技飞行队(Frecce Tricolori)定制款上,这种高性能、高精度、且具有强烈个人风格的手动卷轴机芯手表逐渐走向公众视野,并最终被命名为Chronomat——这是一个决定性的转折点,对抗石英危机并确立手动卷轴机芯在现代世界的地位。
Type Dynamic Choice: Mechanical Timekeeping Dual-Time Zone Automatic Watch 40
这款以国际通用的“格林尼治时间”命名,以双时间显示功能与随性自在设计相结合。拥有多种颜色选择,如黑色、蓝色、绿色、烟煤灰及白色的盘面,再配以精钢壳体与链条,全能融入任何场合。而24小时刻度配合红指针清晰地标示第二个时间区域,让昼夜分明一目了然。
Beneath the Surface of All-Star Mission
The success of such a series requires an exclusive team, matching its influence and style. The new All-Star Squad by Breitling consists of four sports stars representing the new forces in their respective fields. As ambassadors for both the Mechanical Time Keeping Dual-Time Zone Auto and Super Mechanical Time Keeping Auto watches, footballer Erling Haaland, basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo, snowboarder Chloe Kim, and American football player Trevor Lawrence show us what it means to be a top athlete. Whether training for home games or competing globally, these watches are their constant companions.
"Double-time zone is meaningful to me," says Erling Haaland while wearing the white dial model of the Mechanical Timer Dual-Time Zone Auto watch. "Seeing Norwegian time feels like being at home." For Chloe Kim with her ice blue dial steel case Super Mechanical Timer Auto watch: "I'm a sustainable development advocate; this socially conscious watch holds great meaning for me. The use of lab-grown diamonds pushes responsible sourcing and community support to new heights in luxury goods."
From revolutionary change-makers against quartz crisis to stylish all-purpose watches with stories behind them, this mechanical timer began as part of a 'Tricolori' aerobatic team watch's storybook history in horology. Forty years later today, mechanical timers will continue their legendary journey!
