The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Well I've had all these at one time or another.....
Whats your preference?

Not even close for me - Pilot.

Would have gone fo the Navi bracelet had it been there.

I thought Pilot too.... but the bracelet on my old Aerospace....was sooooooooooooooo comfy... I dunno.

I think the Navi... (old style) was pretty close to the Pilot anyway.....just with more links

Out of the Pro 2 and the Fighter, I prefer the Pro 2. I'm not sure if the upcoming Navi bracelet for my Chrono-Matic would make me change my mind. We'll see...

I've only had a Pro 1 and a leather strap. Out of those, the leather is the most comfortable. The leather strap on my Superocean has accustomized itself to my wrist over time.

Kinda funny: Over time, the rich brown of my stap turned into a very dark brown from sweat, dirt, and the like. A couple years ago, I wore it in an over-chlorined pool (oops) for an Army swim test. That bleached it back to being lighter than it was originally. Now it's back to being extremely dark brown (as I've kept it away from pools).

It would be the Navi bracelet for me, so I voted for Pilot as it's the nearest.......... but in fairness I find all Breitling bracelets comfortable.

Ive owned the ProII, Navi, DP1 tang, DP2 deploy, Ocean Racer deploy, and leather tang.

In order from most comfortable to least:

1. Navi
2. Pro II
3. DP2 deploy
4. OR deploy
5. Leather tang
6. DP1 tang

Yeah 7 rows instead of 5. But that's like saying the Pro II is like the Pilot, just more links. Pro, ProII, pilot, Navi, Speed all assemble the same and are based on the same design. Thus they have the same number of circumferential articulations(did I really just type that?) even though more rows. I think mostly I just imagine the Navi feels better but in reality all the Breitling bracelets I've worn are so well made, smooth, and HEAVY - there's nothing else like them.

The Chopard and Omega bracelets I have are nice, but don't admit of fine adjustment - relying totaly on the "half link." In terms of comfort, the second best bracelet brand I've worn is the Boschett on my Cave Dweller - a $600 watch.

Out of everything I have worn I would say the speed bracelet was the best by far! I have the ProII now and its not even close to the speed on my 6.75.

Pilot. By a long shot. Not that the others are uncomfortable. The pilot just seems to meld to the wrist.
