Not sure that the pricing is smart - that also tends to go against the idea of it being in the Aeromarine, so maybe Windrider?

It's a closer throwback to the original transoceans than some of Breitling's attempts to bring back old models, but I think I'd still buy an original - that price puts me off.

Nice looking watch. But at that price point I would much rather buy a chronomat and a steelfish!

Hmm, interesting... very clean looking, more dressy/sophisticated? Is this now the only current Breitling without a functional rortating bezel?

Not really my style, still like the more sporty look. I would need to buy a dress shirt and suit to wear this watch, ha!

I think the size is a good choice but for that price, rather have the regular BB or Navitimer.

I appreciate the history behind the mesh bracelet, but I think this would look better on a croc strap.

If that's real, I really like that. In fact I think it looks awesome! Very traditional and very cool. Kind of like Breitlings answer to the Speedy. I for one certainly hope it's real.



The more I look at it, the more Speedmaster it looks. Right down to the cut of the subdials.

Well I really love it. Simple (for a chronograph), classic, good looking. The price isn't even that bad by UK standards either. Can't wait to see it in person.

Well at today's exchange rate it works out at £4,200...... which is not far off being 2k less than a Chronomat B01, so yeah I think it's pretty reasonable really. :thumbsup: Obviously being rip off Britain I'm sure the pricing will be somewhat different when it arrives over here of course. :?

Just timing divisions I guess.

It's a throwback to when (European) long distance phone calls were charged in three minute intervals to aid in timing calls - was seen on virtually all chronos starting in the late 40s.
