Does anyone around here have the same watch like I have ?

I have a all brushed A20348 Chronomat Longitude with all white subdials.

Where ever I Google I can't find the same watch, does somebody around here have the same watch.

Is there also an extra benefit to buy Breitling leather straps except them being branded ?

How does the quality of Hirsch or Moratello compare to Breitling original ?

I've never owned a Longitude myself, but they're really nice classic looking pieces. It's a shame we don't see a few more of them IMO.

In terms of Breitling straps, I personally think you'll be hard pressed to find better quality straps anywhere. They are thick, well finished, made of quality leathers (both calf and croco) and it's hard to beat the OEM look. They are definitely way better than Hirsch in quality........, but then they cost a lot more (especially the croco versions), so I guess it's whatever you're looking for.

I actually own TWO Longitudes...both are polished versions.

It's not a common Breitling, production was limited to several thousand pieces - that's the reason they don't show up that often.

You mean this one? It's not a longitude! It is however one of the best looking Limited Edition Breitling watches IMHO.

Nice pic. What's the size of the Longitude, it looks a bit smaller than the Chronomat.
