Among collectors, the AB0162121C1S1 usually goes by one of two names: Blackeye Blue, or simply SOH B01 44. Under the hood sits Breitling's Caliber B01, the in-house chronograph movement that's powered practically every Blackeye variant since its introduction. What makes this reference interesting for buyers and appraisers alike is that it appears in at least 4 documented dial variants, and not every one carries the name it's actually traded under. Blackeye Blue (code AB0162-121-C1-Blackeye-Blue) is the original variant, with Blackeye Black (AB0162-121-B1) as its darker sibling. The silver version (AB0162-121-G1-Silver) has no collector nickname of its own, which regularly causes confusion in resale listings. The fourth variant, Blackeye Green Limited (AB0162-1A1-L1), even carries its own reference suffix — a sign that Breitling tracked it as a separate limited edition.
## The Bezel as an Authenticity Anchor
Anyone checking an AB0162121C1S1 shouldn't stop at the dial. The matching bezel carries the code SOH44-121-Ceramic-Uni-Black-60 — unidirectional, ceramic, 60-click, black. In my own practice, this is the component that gives away more fakes than the dial itself: counterfeits tend to use aluminum instead of ceramic, since it's cheaper to produce, and the click action feels noticeably softer. Anyone buying this reference should cross-check the dial code and bezel code against the papers rather than relying on the collector name alone. With 4 possible dial combinations under a single reference number, that's not a nice-to-have — it's the actual verification step.
Brand profile: Breitling
Breitling is known for aviation and dive watches. Chronographs (Navitimer, Chronomat) are the most frequently counterfeited. Pay close attention to slide rule details and COSC certification.
- Wing logo: a genuine Breitling logo shows the anchor and wing tips that NEVER touch — precise negative space between them — fakes let the tips meet or overlap
- 3D 'B' crown: the 'B' on the crown must appear three-dimensional with a light reflection on the curve — a flat 'B' = fake
- Bezel scale vs. dial: the outer white bezel scale must align precisely with the inner black dial indices — fakes show misalignment
- Date disc depth: a genuine Navitimer date disc sits flush with the dial plane — fakes show the date window as a 'crater' (noticeably sunken or raised)
Serial number format: Breitling serial numbers: alphanumeric, located between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Format: one letter + 8 digits (e.g. 'AB012012'). Older models: digits only.
