Cockpit / Galactic 41 (perhaps even more so) is quite dressy with Pilot or Leather...

My God that's hideous...

The same, on Prince William, only quartz. It may not be a priceless sapphire engagement ring, but it does have a sapphire crystal. And like the ring, the watch also came courtesy of Princess Di.

The Headwind is pretty dressy...pic borrowed from internet

Nice watch. And with the straight, pre-Evo lugs. Pity it's not available any more.

When I think dress watch I think non-chrono, no WR, and black croc leather.

That being said the headwind and cockpit/galactic come to mind, but I agree that Breitling is pretty thin in that area, although that is not really their heritage.

Which do ye like better?

First gen. Cockpit





Galactic 41

Cockpit hands down. Much nicer in my humble opinion.

I tend to agree, although it can change depending on the pictures I look at. Unfortunately, I haven't seen either in person. I'm hoping my local AD will at least have a Galactic in stock so I can check it out, although the odds are against it.

Here are a couple pics that are more similar to each other, just to keep the playing field even. The pics above were clearly kinder to the Cockpit.

yeah i dont think that you could go wrong any where in that navi range.

@ JacksonStone freaking hilarious! that iced out SA with the dinner plate bezel...screams CLASS hahaah

I've found my ole' SuperOcean nail-pounder makes for a nice dress watch after I clean it off.

Joking apart, I am happy to wear any that I have ever had (apart from an SA) with a suit.

I'd definitely like to get a closer look at that. I know some people loathe it, but I like the more tasteful, less over-the-top styling, which is refreshing in light of most of Breitling's more recent offerings. Not sure about that mesh bracelet, though. What bracelet might go better with it?
