It has to be the Chronomat Evo with blue face and gold - I just simply love it, lately is the B01 which I think is gorgeous too.

BUT......

I could never be without my gorgeous Airwolf (it's away being cared for by BUK at the moment and I miss it like crazy - only another 5 - 7 weeks to wait).

That's a tough one obviously as more than one appeal to me but if I have to pick one that will be the B01, quite revolutionary by "standard" Breitling criteria.

I'll be the first then, I bought my favorite Breitling - B01, for sure!

I think you'll find that it's "that" bezel on the B01 that's the primary reason it's not picking up the votes here. Even after a couple of years since it was introduced it's still a massive polariser of opinions. I personally used to hate it when it first came out, but I've warmed to it quite a bit over the years.......... just still not enough to make it my best ever Breitling. (Still a fine watch though. :thumbsup: )


Personally I like the B01, however alot are unsure of the bezel and also the "square" on the dial.

I love looking at my B01 after a hard days work...Its not my daily, and sits on my winder for my viewing pleasure. Maybe not the best watch, but definitely my fav.

Number 2 is a tough toss up between the Navi 01 and the Chrono Evo!

Since the original question was "What's your all time favourite Breitling??", I guess it's my first and the one I would never, ever sell. A Chrono Shark Quartz. Not one to rank alongside a '52 Navitimer but means the world to me!

Image

But if I could ever find (and afford!) one, I think a K11022 Old Navitimer Mecanique (x/100, Japan only) would be the one for me. Can't even find a picture of it but this is the steel version (of which only 400 were made).

The Navitimers have it all. Size, sub dials, band, bezel. They all scream Breitling. The Montbrillant Legend does it the best. IMHO

For me it's my Chronomat Evolution in red and gold, had it 6 years now and would never get rid of it.
