This is the most beautiful watch in Breitling’s current line up, all 3 versions are beautiful, but this pistachio, and the salmon dial are simply spectacular.
Breitling are making some very interesting pieces at the moment. I bought the SuperOcean 57 last month and absolutely love it. You did hate on it in a video last year without having seen it in person, but I’ll forgive you. 😉
Love the breitling. Interesting to see you say the caseback is similar in quality to the seamaster diver 300. The finishing might be similar but the breitling looks so much more complex and interesting.
"Snap judgements based on the branding " well said Adrian, we're all doing this and we need to stop. Things change - owners, designers etc. Totally agree on many of the comments re Breitling - they're on the right track. 👍
The watch looks amazing. When I first saw the dial, I thought it was an IWC. They are really making a statement for the future of their watch making standards
Maybe it’s more rewarding or interesting to have five watches that are not versatile than to have five watches that are very versatile but maybe like more or less the same. It’s a bit provocative but I just want to say, play with it. Watches are part of us, our personality, our style. Personally I enjoy it very much to look in a watch box that is quite that is a bit diverse and suits the owner, even if not every watch is one for every occasion. 😃 Great video Adrian and beautiful watch. Breitling heads into the right direction in my opinion.
@@benb1131 Hi there Ben. Thanks for asking. The other two are the Speedmaster and the new Zenith Chrono Sport , white dial. Normally the Omega would be the choice, but with three Omegas already in my not very large collection, I will likely branch away from Omega on my chrono choice.
@Simon Veasey Certainly a nice plan and I appreciate the advice, but the Tudor Chrono doesn't do it for me. I only plan to add like two, maybe three more watches and then stop buying until 2026 when I buy my last watch. I want to make sure those last two or three are watches I REALLY want. I would be very happy with any of my three chrono choices, so as of now, those are the options. By the time I'm ready to buy (probably a year from now), there may end up being more that appeal, but so far I want to choose between those.
Adrian, thank you for the review. I was finally able to get this watch. Apparently it is in high demand. I personally love the vintage pistachio dial. I constantly get asked about showing this watch. People think it is really cool. It’s a beautiful timepiece!
Felt the same way about Breitling. Their vintage models were always better looking than their modern offerings. Over the last couple years though, some of their designs have been really beautiful. I think they are heading in the right direction, especially with this model. It's outstanding!
It’s just absolutely gorgeous; I’m not sure about the strap though. I would probably switch it out with a black or grey one. I think I am thing to buy this watch. That dial just calls to me.
I’ve tried this watches in the local shop recently. I’ve been stunned since then…As the man who prefers pure classic watches, I was amazed by the craftsmanship and quality for this price. £6K is a chunk of money, however, these watches are totally worth it!
Breath of fresh air, thank you! Not another Rolex/Tudor video. Seems these days most TH-camrs are stuck in an echo chamber. This Breitling is delicious, great review!
Jumping chrono hands is caused by horizontal clutch; not because of cam actuated chronographs. Column wheel actuated chronographs just makes the actuations crisper and tighter.
First of all, loving your content, I think we have similar tastes with the majority of your watches and love of Defenders and Java with a similar occupational career. However I must say when you introduced me to this watch I’m absolutely in love with it.. Thanks for the video review of it
This watch is simply amazing. Since it came out, I thought that this dial's color was perfect. It would be great if Bretling would introduce this color for the only time Premier too.
This watch is for the person that walks in a room full of robots and goes "that's right I'm wearing a fun and fine watch that doesn't look like anything you all are fighting for"
You always seem to review the watches that I'm newly interested in! Great review!! Now I just need to come to terms with purchasing a Breitling. I own a few 50's/60's models (not the Navitimer), this watch has so much that i love about those watches plus the benefits of modern technology and craftsmanship.
I just tried the pistachio chrono on today. Beautifully finished watch with that great clunk to the column wheel pusher. I think this direction for Breitling has been a long time coming..... all their special colour dials look fabulous but this one stands out as more unique than the salmon...
Most in the watch community form opinions solely on the opinions of others who form their opinions on something they have neither physically held nor purchased. You can not deny Breitlings are very well made and built like tanks.
Great looking watch. Love that dial colour & love what Breitling are doing at the moment. Taking inspiration from their past history is a great move. Losing the bling is even better. Hopefully the days of watches like the Breitling Bentley oversized beast is over!
I never hesitate to give your videos a "thumbs up"! This one is no exception. By far the best of the few I have seen so far about this watch. Especially close ups of dial and movement! For me, this dial is absolutely perfect. For some reason, blue dials just have never worked for me. I admire them, sometimes buy them, and talk myself into thinking they will work. For the clothing I wear, this will work perfectly. Size, manual wind, no date. I like that it's a tribute to the previous Premier, but not trying to be a revival. I have the Premier B01 Norton, and I am totally impressed with the Premier models. As far as anything negative: I can't figure out why, on every Premier model, there is lume on the hands only. It does work, I tried it, reading the time in the dark by position of the hands. But why lume the hands at all? Many watches have dials with no lume. Rant over. I do love the direction Breitling is taking now. Just to show how much I love this watch: I gave up my offer of a new Rolex Explorer 1, when my turn came up on the waitlist. Just so I could afford to buy this one! Just patiently awaiting it's arrival. Cheers, Carl
The new Breitling models are simply fantastic. That salmon dial moonphase chronograph is one of the most beautiful watches launched recently. However, IMO, Breitling messed up with Tudor agreement by allowing Tudor to sell B01 movement watches for half the price.
i love the new collection from Breitling! they were pretty smart with the move they made this year. they didn't go to watches and wonders but put out the new collection at the same time... smart move... this B09 is amazing!!! 40mm and the pistachio green is perfection!!! if only there was a place I could buy a strap that looks better than the leather that comes with it...
I have a Breitling galactic 41 (black dial) for over 10 years now and it’s my favorite timepieces of all time. And yes I own watches from many brands. Excellent quality and reliability
Over the last few years I think Breitling have indeed upped their game considerably. They’re putting out a lot of interesting and desirable watches now.
'sotto voce' - so clever ... The Breitling looks great and has a serious vintage vibe about it. For me It represents one of the difficulties of watch collecting - this one, that one, the next one - whooa!
Love that you’ve done a breitling review, thank you. I’m an RAF kid too so grew up loving them. If you want to do a vintage review an 806 would be good to look at. Keep up the great content.
£6,200 ,that's two for a sub ,and twice as much watch ,they've had their ups and downs but they have amence history, more than ....you know....the other one . You've gotta love a Breitling. Love the channel, keep it up Jim
What a gorgeous piece... Coming from someone who has never been a big Breitling fan, at all really, this one really caught my eye last year when it came out... And now I'm currently looking to buy my first (non-mecha-quartz) Chrono to add to my decently small but very nice collection, and saw this on Joma for something like $6,395 or so which really piqued my interest. I'm also looking at a few pieces from Zenith, and because I'm also planning to buy my first gold piece for a very special occasion 1/2023 I've had my eye on some stuff that's quite a bit more expensive (RG Overseas Chrono, specifically) but I have a feeling when the day comes to drop that kind of coin on a watch I'm much more likely to get something that's not a chrono/fits much more as a near-daily piece to mix in with my steel/titanium pieces. If it proves difficult to get even a simple 3-hand VC Overseas in RG for a decent price, I've always had a thing for RG Day-Dates... Though I hate a cyclops on my crystal personally, it's the one watch I would purchase with one. Blah blah so back to this Breitling... Came by to ask if anybody has one/has had one for a good while now...? If so, what are your thoughts on the watch for that price after owning it for a decent while? Would love input from anybody who has extended experience.
Never been a big Breitling fan but their recent collections are improving. Just signed up for their Select program as a way to try a few of their pieces for a year. Good way to get some experience with the brand.
My Rolex sub with deep blue dial.....I can just sit and stare on it for long periods! This one has got that attention grabbing as well, and I love it!!!
I had RCAF pilot friends who had Breitlings in the late 90s. One had consistent QC problems with his. Still, they are cool watches and I am glad to see them rehabilitate their style/reputation.
One addition to make to your video here. It’s good to know that a column wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch can have the chronograph function engaged indefinitely without risk of damaging the movement and I believe a cam actuated chronograph cannot.
I'm warming up to Breitling for the first time, and strongly considering a Premier. Leaning towards the panda as opposed to the pistachio, however. Partially for the color. Partially because it's available on a bracelet.
Breitling have been knocking it out of the park lately. The Top Time Deus & Top Time Shelby Cobra are instant classics yet modern. Beautiful. Premier Chronograph in mint or copper. The Navitimer variants are CAF.
You always say you "don't need a chronograph" - you also don't need a Dive watch (unless you intend on diving in the freezing cold waters off the coast of Scotland) - Yet you own at least 2 luxury dive watches...
I don’t necessarily need the dive function, however I do need the build quality. I’m clumsy, so I need something that can take a beating. I also like the piece of mind that comes with a watch that has over 100m WR.
Funny thing is, Chronographs are super handy. I use mine for always for workout (Yes you can do that, mechanical watches aren’t that fragile. Keep in mind, before Quarz, people used to storm the beaches of the Normandy or fight in the Jungle of Vietnam with their mechanical watches), or when cooking. So super useful.
Bark and Jack Hey Adrian, No, as an amateur sous chef with ageing eyesight, I don't need the dive function either but I do agree with the Mosso Man that the 60 minute diving bezel outperforms the tiny little 30 minute sub-dial in the kitchen!
@@SJCB27 Yeah I use a dive bezel to time things or keep track of time. In my previous job I was a presenter / public speaker and I used dive bezel to mark timings. At a quick glance, I can check the progress A chronograph would be harder to see than a dive bezel.
I think the designs Breitling have been coming out with in the past couple of years are really interesting...I used to find Breitling design way to busy. There are still other watches I want to buy before I would buy a Breitling. Thank you for another great review Adrian 😊👍
My thoughts on Breitling are I'd like to try it, along with Grand Seiko. Dig what they are putting out. Not really in the same price category but also Longines is quietly killing it.
I hear you. Just bought my first GS. SBGH271 RIKKA. LOVE IT. Rich Green dial with gold. This Breitling totally caught my attention so I searched up this video. Still likely to by a Spring Drive GS first but this Breitling is now on my list and near the top.
Breitling has never inspired me before and I too have no use for a chronograph but it does look very handsome. I think it's the vintage roots that make the difference. Reminds me of Seagull 1963.
I am a GS guy....love the Grand Seiko but seen this watch in another video with Mr. Wonderful amd Teddy Ballasare. Fell in over with the look and wanted to see if it indeed was better than the typical over hyped Breitling. You have convinced me it is respectable and worth my money. Thanks.
Love the review as always but I’m still chuckling with the whispering about the order of releasing straps and watch rolls!!! Remember, happy wife, happy life! Ps, I think you’re right! Sorry Mrs Adrian.
I was an RAF kid, though slightly earlier, my dad, a Flight Sergeant in WW2 and a watch guy, collector/repairer (mostly Pocket watches) Nevertheless, it allowed for horology to catch my interest at an early age and never left, regardless of the wild path I took earlier in life. Which brings me back to the reason for the comment. I'm in recovery, so the 'syringe' hands, unfortunately, are a no, no for me! 😇 An attractive watch nonetheless, I did say hi at the Grosvenor, so thank you for a sincere and focused hello back! Great channel and as always, a fair and balanced review 👍
First Breitling I would consider. Love the dial colour. Chances are, this isn’t going to be your only watch so the dial colour probably won’t be an issue
The new Premier range is pretty good, the blue Duograph is probably the best of the bunch along with the small seconds automatics. Plenty for chrongraph fans to like here.
Have ordered one. First breitling I've wanted, ever! Is a very good move for breitling in my opinion. Heritage editions. Very cool and deal maker is 100m water resistant. Is main reason why no dress pateks or ALS in my collection.
The Breitling is a beautiful watch. The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Panda is now difficult to get. I’ve tried. Rolex impossible. This might be a good reason for Breitling to turn the corner back again.
That color is stunning. I love that watch exept not having the lume plots but having the lume hands. But boy it is attractive. I use chronograph regularly to brew a coffee and i enjoy using them a lot. This one is totally in line with my style
Not a Breitling fan but I like this one. I wouldn’t buy a watch with AR coating on the outside again but each to their own. It looks a bit thick and the Tudor partnership is better for Tudor than Breitling as Breitling are aiming above Tudor price point wise. This type of content make a nice change from the constant Rolex regurgitation that’s played out constantly on TH-cam.
I like you found Breitling first. I now have five. Four Chronos and a Super Ocean Heritage.42mm. I think they have turned the corner with the last few years releases. But as you pointed out they have to watch they pricing the new Premie line is edging Up there. Liked your comments on the movement finishing. But I do think it's nice to get both. Great finish and accuracy like I have in my new Bathyscaphe. Which I got for 6000. Pounds and why Breitling has to watch what end of the pool there swimming in.
I believe Breitling is doing good with their heritage and throwback models, recently got myself a blue dial/blue bezel SuperOcean Heritage 38 mm with small seconds to wear on nato straps (the original rubber strap is hedious, and on a metal bracelet I prefer my Rolex DJ), very much satisfied with the looks of it. Thankfully, they started moving avay from bulky complicated looking avenger/chronomat/navitimer stuff to more appealing clean dials. This one I like too, very good color and clean dial. Would consider adding to my collection on few years, when pre-owned market will get saturated enough for good deals to appear eventually.
I remember a very cool TV add of Breitling with a marine and what he would sacrifice. There was everything "sir, yes sir". Except with the Breitling "sir, no sir". Who remembers that add? cant find it anywhere...

😆 "I don't need a chronograph." -None of us needs any of these watches when you can spend $15 USD on a Casio, but we 'want' these timepieces.
@@GhostSubstituteWell I don't have a phond, nor 6000 pounds, so a $15 Casio it is.
I love it. I am so glad Breitling is becoming a respectable watch brand again. The new watches are just stunning.
This is the most beautiful watch in Breitling’s current line up, all 3 versions are beautiful, but this pistachio, and the salmon dial are simply spectacular.
couldn't agree more. Its mesmerizing
That's one beautiful watch - love the pistachio dial
Maybe someone will break one so you can restore it!! Your channel is incredible, I love watching your restoration videos.
@@Gorrila_Man92 that would be great 😁 thanks 😉
Like your channel.

Personally I enjoy it very much to look in a watch box that is quite that is a bit diverse and suits the owner, even if not every watch is one for every occasion. 😃
Great video Adrian and beautiful watch. Breitling heads into the right direction in my opinion.
The fact that Breitling is coming back to it's root, tho with homage pieces is much more exciting than what it used to do. Great video as always!
I love that it doesn’t have a date, that always seems like too much on a chronograph.
I have three chronos that I am interested in acquiring. I'll only get one. This Breitling Pistachio is one of them.
What are the others
@@benb1131 Hi there Ben. Thanks for asking. The other two are the Speedmaster and the new Zenith Chrono Sport , white dial. Normally the Omega would be the choice, but with three Omegas already in my not very large collection, I will likely branch away from Omega on my chrono choice.
@Simon Veasey Certainly a nice plan and I appreciate the advice, but the Tudor Chrono doesn't do it for me.

Zenith all day. Check out also tag heuer Carrera 160 anniversary and Breitling super Chronomat

I’ve tried this watches in the local shop recently. I’ve been stunned since then…As the man who prefers pure classic watches, I was amazed by the craftsmanship and quality for this price. £6K is a chunk of money, however, these watches are totally worth it!
Breath of fresh air, thank you! Not another Rolex/Tudor video. Seems these days most TH-camrs are stuck in an echo chamber. This Breitling is delicious, great review!
Great to see Breitling releasing great models again !
This is the only channel on YT where the product plugs are entertaining. Absolute masterclass.
Jumping chrono hands is caused by horizontal clutch; not because of cam actuated chronographs. Column wheel actuated chronographs just makes the actuations crisper and tighter.
Thanks for the corrections Kenmour. I’ll try and remember that for next time.
@@BarkandJack Always happy to help! Also, great video! :)
Makes me want some pistachio ice cream! Nice looking, unique watch, well presented. Thanks once again for informing (and entertaining) me.
Love Breitling. I am also an RAF kid, born in Cyprus in 1974.
Breitling has definitely turned the corner. They’re not on my list yet, but I’m paying attention.
First of all, loving your content, I think we have similar tastes with the majority of your watches and love of Defenders and Java with a similar occupational career.
However I must say when you introduced me to this watch I’m absolutely in love with it..
Thanks for the video review of it
Breitling is an outstanding and capable movement manufacturer. I'll leave it there.
Yeah, but you’d never actually part with money to buy one right…?
This watch is simply amazing. Since it came out, I thought that this dial's color was perfect. It would be great if Bretling would introduce this color for the only time Premier too.
Was bought one recently (for my 50th). It really is a lovely watch. The dial is so eye-catching/pleasing. It's a compliment magnet!
That watch is absolutely stunning! Love the green tone also.
This watch is for the person that walks in a room full of robots and goes "that's right I'm wearing a fun and fine watch that doesn't look like anything you all are fighting for"
Well said. For this price, although I think it is good value, I do want something that sets it apart from others.
Fun fact. The same engineer who designed Rolex Daytona movement (post Zenith) designed the B01. That should tell you something:)
You always seem to review the watches that I'm newly interested in! Great review!! Now I just need to come to terms with purchasing a Breitling.

Great looking watch. Love that dial colour & love what Breitling are doing at the moment. Taking inspiration from their past history is a great move. Losing the bling is even better. Hopefully the days of watches like the Breitling Bentley oversized beast is over!

Literally the only Breitling that I like...but man do I like this one a lot. On my shortlist of chronos to get.
£6,200 ,that's two for a sub ,and twice as much watch ,they've had their ups and downs but they have amence history, more than ....you know....the other one .
You've gotta love a Breitling.
Love the channel, keep it up

This watch is a party on the wrist. A stunner. Beautiful finishing as well. Easy to wind…
What a gorgeous piece... Coming from someone who has never been a big Breitling fan, at all really, this one really caught my eye last year when it came out...

I thought Breitling had the best overall rollout of new pieces. I really liked their Daytora… just cool.
👊👍
I love the Breitling PREMIER B25 DATORA 42. Such a stunning watch. Really like the moon phase too, such a quirky animated complication.
I do like the looks of that watch in that colour way! Can’t help but think…. There’s something quite Seagull 1963 about it.
The new Limited edition breitling Navitimer 747 is a master piece!
Never been a big Breitling fan but their recent collections are improving. Just signed up for their Select program as a way to try a few of their pieces for a year. Good way to get some experience with the brand.
I like the size and dial. Im afraid to ask how much. Looks better than a Rolex to me.
That's actually a really nice cool looking watch from Breitling...
Another great video! Already bought some coffee and it's fantastic
My Rolex sub with deep blue dial.....I can just sit and stare on it for long periods! This one has got that attention grabbing as well, and I love it!!!
I still like older breitling but the future looks bright for breitling

"Therefore its deemed to be a higher end chronograph"
*seagull ST19 enters chat*
Tag have already turned the corner especially with the Heuer models, seems that Breitling is going to join on the sunny side of the street...
Shhhhh...that TAG haters are still sleeping. You don't want to wake them up and have them crawl out of their hole all cranky.
I bought this same colour after seeing this video, and it’s quickly becoming my favourite in my collection of Seamaster, Monaco, Navi and Chronomat
Helpful review. I’m considering one. Like you, Breitling was not on my radar for many years
The whisper section about the wife is hysterical. Great stuff, Adrian
Breitling have been knocking it out of the park lately. The Top Time Deus & Top Time Shelby Cobra are instant classics yet modern. Beautiful. Premier Chronograph in mint or copper. The Navitimer variants are CAF.
I wish that it had round pushers rather then the squared off, specially with a vintage style watch.
The pushers are almost if not entirely identical to the watch its a homage of

Bark and Jack Hey Adrian, No, as an amateur sous chef with ageing eyesight, I don't need the dive function either but I do agree with the Mosso Man that the 60 minute diving bezel outperforms the tiny little 30 minute sub-dial in the kitchen!
@@SJCB27 Yeah I use a dive bezel to time things or keep track of time. In my previous job I was a presenter / public speaker and I used dive bezel to mark timings. At a quick glance, I can check the progress A chronograph would be harder to see than a dive bezel.
@@BarkandJack Adrian, don´t you cook pasta? That´s where you need a chrono. LOL
I think the designs Breitling have been coming out with in the past couple of years are really interesting...I used to find Breitling design way to busy. There are still other watches I want to buy before I would buy a Breitling. Thank you for another great review Adrian 😊👍
My thoughts on Breitling are I'd like to try it, along with Grand Seiko. Dig what they are putting out. Not really in the same price category but also Longines is quietly killing it.
I hear you. Just bought my first GS. SBGH271 RIKKA. LOVE IT. Rich Green dial with gold. This Breitling totally caught my attention so I searched up this video. Still likely to by a Spring Drive GS first but this Breitling is now on my list and near the top.
Breitling has never inspired me before and I too have no use for a chronograph but it does look very handsome. I think it's the vintage roots that make the difference. Reminds me of Seagull 1963.
I am a GS guy....love the Grand Seiko but seen this watch in another video with Mr. Wonderful amd Teddy Ballasare. Fell in over with the look and wanted to see if it indeed was better than the typical over hyped Breitling. You have convinced me it is respectable and worth my money. Thanks.
Love the review as always but I’m still chuckling with the whispering about the order of releasing straps and watch rolls!!! Remember, happy wife, happy life! Ps, I think you’re right! Sorry Mrs Adrian.
I was an RAF kid, though slightly earlier, my dad, a Flight Sergeant in WW2 and a watch guy, collector/repairer (mostly Pocket watches) Nevertheless, it allowed for horology to catch my interest at an early age and never left, regardless of the wild path I took earlier in life. Which brings me back to the reason for the comment. I'm in recovery, so the 'syringe' hands, unfortunately, are a no, no for me! 😇 An attractive watch nonetheless, I did say hi at the Grosvenor, so thank you for a sincere and focused hello back! Great channel and as always, a fair and balanced review 👍
First Breitling I would consider. Love the dial colour. Chances are, this isn’t going to be your only watch so the dial colour probably won’t be an issue
Very succinctly put, David. Totally agree.
Every time I watch your videos I pause it and fire up the Nespresso machine!! Absolutely love this watch!
Haha. Nice one 🙌🏻☕️
The new Premier range is pretty good, the blue Duograph is probably the best of the bunch along with the small seconds automatics. Plenty for chrongraph fans to like here.
I like the way they simplified the SuperOcean. I have a yellow super ocean 44. It is superb.
Couldn't agree more, the new Breitlings are excellent. The Salmon dial Datora, oh my.
Have ordered one. First breitling I've wanted, ever! Is a very good move for breitling in my opinion. Heritage editions. Very cool and deal maker is 100m water resistant. Is main reason why no dress pateks or ALS in my collection.
The Breitling is a beautiful watch. The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Panda is now difficult to get. I’ve tried. Rolex impossible.
This might be a good reason for Breitling to turn the corner back again.
Love your videos and the overall style of videos and tone of voice!
Ps do I have to pay import taxes if I buy from your shop in Europe now?
That color is stunning. I love that watch exept not having the lume plots but having the lume hands. But boy it is attractive. I use chronograph regularly to brew a coffee and i enjoy using them a lot. This one is totally in line with my style
Just love the look and colour . HOwever if i was being picky . I would have prefered round chrono buttons .
Not a Breitling fan but I like this one. I wouldn’t buy a watch with AR coating on the outside again but each to their own. It looks a bit thick and the Tudor partnership is better for Tudor than Breitling as Breitling are aiming above Tudor price point wise. This type of content make a nice change from the constant Rolex regurgitation that’s played out constantly on TH-cam.
Concur about the Tudor partnership, no idea what Breitling are thinking corporately and they have defo overpriced this model
Your plan of both straps being launched together was the better choice.
This is my aspirational watch. It is a beautiful thing although £6200 is to steep for me currently but one day it shall be mine.
Loved the inside look into the workings of two business partners. Or rather, a boss and her employee. 😂
Hahaha.
I like you found Breitling first. I now have five. Four Chronos and a Super Ocean Heritage.42mm. I think they have turned the corner with the last few years releases. But as you pointed out they have to watch they pricing the new Premie line is edging Up there.
Liked your comments on the movement finishing. But I do think it's nice to get both. Great finish and accuracy like I have in my new Bathyscaphe. Which I got for 6000. Pounds and why Breitling has to watch what end of the pool there swimming in.
I believe Breitling is doing good with their heritage and throwback models, recently got myself a blue dial/blue bezel SuperOcean Heritage 38 mm with small seconds to wear on nato straps (the original rubber strap is hedious, and on a metal bracelet I prefer my Rolex DJ), very much satisfied with the looks of it. Thankfully, they started moving avay from bulky complicated looking avenger/chronomat/navitimer stuff to more appealing clean dials. This one I like too, very good color and clean dial. Would consider adding to my collection on few years, when pre-owned market will get saturated enough for good deals to appear eventually.
This and the B01 panda are absolutely stunning.
Big fan of this Breitling chrono, so pleased you have covered it. I don't think I'll be buying one given the price, but it certainly has my interest.
The B01 Panda is a looker! Absolutely gorgeous.
Definitely, I bought one 2 years ago and probably one of the most commented on watches I own
Agreed. That watch is beautiful.
I remember a very cool TV add of Breitling with a marine and what he would sacrifice. There was everything "sir, yes sir". Except with the Breitling "sir, no sir". Who remembers that add? cant find it anywhere...
