Here's a bit of info - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... d_158.html

Nice watch - I looked at one of these myself a few years ago. The movement in this is based on the ETA 2892, which is one of the newer ETA movements, and is very smooth and reliable.

The left-hand crown is essentially a nod to the original chronomatic that had a left hand crown primarily as a result of the internal design of the movement that necessitated the crown to be on the left. (Although Breitling have sometimes claimed it was to, "separate the winding mechanism from the chronograph functions").
