What changes or tweaks would you make to a current Breitling watch to make it, in your eyes, the perfect model?

For me, I'd like to see a Chrono Superocean with the following features:

Case - Super Avenger size :bow: Big and deep!

Dial: In the blue of the current Superocean with same numeric fonts as current Superocean - sub dials same color, just white markings - GMT feature - second hand in the pre 2007 Superocean style.

Bracelet: Blue rubber strap with Breitling logo and deployant buckle.

Ultimate naval watch! :lingsrock:

General comment... I'd like to see more white dials than silver.

SOHCLE in either black or cream dial:
1) Reduce weight by 40-60%
2) Reduce price by 90%

Great topic! :thumbsup: And one that I could REALLY go to town on! :wink:

However, I'll keep it to this -

1. In-house movements in everything. Failing that, just USE THE DAMN B01 MOVEMENT IN A FEW OTHER PEICES....... OR EVEN JUST ONE OTHER!!!!!!!!!!

2. Display Backs on everything (like Sharky said). Failing that, just a few DB's would be nice!

3. Less Blacksteel-this and blacksteel-that. OK the Blacksteel AS was different and a nice looking piece, but it should've been left there.

4. All models need to be in the 44mm - 48mm range! :wink:

5. All Chronomatics should have a left-hand crown!

Oops, this list is just turning into a list of general Breitling wants! :oops: :lol:

OK, my perfect Breitling would be -

A 46mm Navitimer, with a traditionally laid-out black dial with white/silver subdials (none of these stoooopid looking multi-coloured dials like on the latest Datora!), running the B01 movement or a variant of it. Is that REALLY too much to ask???

(Of course if they threw in a cool case and bracelet material - like tantalum or ceramic - all the better!)

+1. At least you could have one as an option from Breitling.

Not to digress too far... but
If a $50 Android can be 300m WR,
If a $250 Invicta can be 500m WR

Then every Ling should be in that range or better! Oh and have a display back too :wink:

Well, if we are in fantasy land.........

A DB Navitimer with an in house movement, tri-compax, ratty, beaded bezel. Make it an automatic, but get creative with the rotor to show me the movement better - a skeletonised rotor with the Breitling wings or even something like Bucherer are doing with their peripheral rotor.

I'll even wait for the 60th anniversary of the 806.

That sounds strangely similar to my fantasty Breiting Roff (except for the beaded bezel which doesn't really do it for me). And yes with Breitling's current design direction, I guess we are totally in fantasy land. Unfortunately. :?
