One of the nicest parts of Breitling watches, as well as Omegas, Rolexes, etc. is a part that is seldom seen, the caseback!

Haven't seen a thread about this, but thought it'd be interesting to have a thread where people can show off the BACK of their timepieces!

Let's see 'em! (I'd love to see Breitlings, but I'd also love to see any examples of other watch makes, if the caseback is interesting)

What got me thinking about it is a photo someone else posted, in another thread, of the caseback on the soon to be released Chronospace (see below) Caseback is designed with a sound resonance chamber, which is supposed to amplify the alarm and beeping sounds to 90 dB! Nice.

Thanks!

I've been meaning to start a "show us your back side" :wink:

thread myself but don't have the pics to start it!

It's a very useful way of spotting replicas but very few owners think about posting case back pics. Would be great to see them here with details of model number, year etc if known.

I'll post mine once I've got round to taking them.

Don't have many caseback shots, but personally I think that this one is quite nice.

I agree, Breitling Airwolf has a pretty impressive back. Probably has to be one of the best backs out there. Really like clear crystal exhibition ones too but Breitling don't really have a lot of them.

Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction, but I have :twisted:

NEVER

seen a Rolex caseback that resembles anything even remotely close to interesting.
