Hey guys, Right now I'm learning how to fly the Beechcraft T-6A. In this particular airframe, we pull 4-5 sustained G's on a regular basis during most flights. I currently own a Breitling B01. While I know it is an aviation watch, given the price... I thought it would be prudent to DOUBLE CHECK w/ the experts (all you guys) if it is safe to expose my watch to such a strenuous environment. Alternatively, would anyone happen to know who at Breitling I could contact? My other question is if it is safe to take it to 16,000 ft. Thanks a lot for any help you can provide - John |

We do worry about our watches don't we! Breitlings have been in space so I don't think 16,000 feet is running too big a risk  In terms of g forces, it's sudden impact that you need to worry about where the instant g force can easily be in triple digits. If you are pulling enough g in a T-6A to damage the watch then you have far greater problems than a damaged watch

Dude, better safe than sorry, how about getting an Emergency for the other wrist so you are fully breitling'd up and fully covered for all circumstances! Davey |
