The Breitling Watch Source Forums

no love for the aerospace???
i read the forum posts and i wonder why there is no discussion on the aerospace model,no pictures,no interest....is it strange bird at the breitling range?
is it a poor man breitling?
i thought about the white avantage..what do you think about this watch?

I love the Aerospace its one of the best watches they make thats why I have had 5 of them Would buy another if I could get one cheap enough

the avantage(42mm) will fit 7.5 inch wrist or it will look like girls watch?

I owned an Aerospace briefly. I like the look and wear of the watch. No second hand was not a big deal. The only thing I did not like was the backlight (having to spin the crown) and when setting any function on the watch, you need to spin the crown. For example, if you were setting the time or alarm or whatever, you could only adjust the minutes. You could fast set the hours if you can spin the crown fast enough, although I could rarely accomplish this. As far as the backlight, you must spin the crown to ilum it. That sometimes causes the digital function to change, date, time, alarm, etc. IMHO if Breitling would have a push to ilum backlight and a two stop crown for quick adjust of hour and minutes, and change the face back without the swirls, I would own another, quickly. Or a TI Airwolf with better water resistance.

is the white face wears bigger at the avantage?
anyone has wrist shot?

I have a new Aerospace and am VERY happy with it. Not being a quartz fan it was a chance to get it but could not be happier with the functionality. I've read some have problems with the crown and setting but guess I'm lucky since I find it very easy to use. The lightness is strange (I'm used to heavy SS), but very comfortable. I also have not noticed and hand alignment problems which have plagued some models. My only gripe is that I don't think the black dial is black enough - when I picked it up I thought they had given me the bronze by mistake! Overall, great watch and IMO the most functional Breitling out there. Would almost say this about the Airwolf but with only 50m WR it is a no go for an all around watch.

The Aerospace is still one of my favourites, had 2 now. Its THE watch that started my whole Breitling thing, and equally important for me its one of only 2 remaining titanium models. I just can't make up my mind if I prefer the older '04 75362 model or the newer Avantage.

42mm should look fine on a 7.5 inch wrist, but you would probably find the older 40mm too small.

The Pro2 on the Aerospace is lovely, smaller links than the bracelet used on the Seawolf etc, but still 22mm wide

I wear my Aerospace every day. Its light weight make it extremely comfortable.

I was given an Aerospace last December by a very generous friend. I have three vintage Breitlings. At first i was uncertain about the analogue/ digital thing. Plus I wasn't so keen on Quartz.

But i have to say its become the watch i wear most. Its rugged, accurate and keeps good time even if i don't wear it for two or three days (unlike manuals and autos). Its also really light after the heavy SS watches!

My two gripes are trying to spin the crown fast enough and the lack of an hour chime. Apart from that, I've come to love it.
