Ok, some of you might well know what I wish:

1. Chronomat B01, size 40 mm, case shape same, weekday feature added, blackeye blue dial, lunette w/new rider-tab styles (so no pulli-killer, but no parallel sides), original fonts on lunette with every minute marked, every 5 minutes w/digits (3 rider-tabs too).

2. SOHC 40 mm size, day-date 7750, blackeye blue dial, lumi dot at 0/60 on lunette, Pilot bracelet.

3. Blackeye blue dial for existing CSO

4. Aviastar re-edition (original case size and shape, pilot dial styling), but with screw-fitted bezel, bi-birectional, 120-240 clicks, domed sapphyre glass, 10 atm wr, day-date 7750, blackeye blue dial option, Luminova on hands, dial and 0/60 of lunette.

5. all steel bracelets, say, Navi, Pilot, ProII and mesh: double-pusher clasp w/micro adjustment, like that of the Ocean Racer, but with diver's extension. Sg between that of the Omega Seamaster and the TH AR Chrono D-D.

6. a proper folding clasp for the leather straps: again double pushers and fine adjustment. Sg like Omega clasp.

Waiting for any good news:-)

Regards: Robertus

Well I'm hard to please......

A B01 in a case that befits the history of the brand - a Navitimer would be ideal
A chrono-matic that respects the history with a crown on the left
A return to innovation instead of rehashing existing dials and cases
Real value for money instead of $30,000 plus gold versions of a $5,000 watch
A rationalisation of the Aeromarine line rather than a constant addition of slight changes to try and pull even more people into the brand
Something tangibly different in the Professional line that is supposed to be leading edge
Some evidence of an in house haute horlogerie piece in the works

That's all :lol:


Well said Roff.
As the Chronomat B01 will be remembered as the model of the 125th anniversary of the brand (even if that was not planned forehand) a Navitimer B01 will be remembered as the ultimate Breitling :bow: :lingsrock:

Yup, I agree. With some added water resistance, I'd never need another watch.

Peace

I paid my AD a visit today to show a friend the B01. Guess what? He told me that Breitling would love to have a Navi B01. However, for the moment they cannot physically produce the Calibers needed for that as average production is 4-5 B01 Calibers per day. Guess we'd have to wait for Baselword....
