I have (had) 3 Breitling watches. Two were from the 1980s Eric Tabarly Yachting line and the third was my Father's Navitimer 2400:

I was wearing the Navitimer until last month when it stopped working. All three watches were sent to Breitling and deemed unrepairable / unrestorable. This is really disappointing since the Navitimer had a lot of sentimental value. My father actually wore his Breitling while flying his plane and it always reminded me of my childhood. As a result, I have been offered a discount towards the purchase of three new Breitlings: 40% of each new watch. I'd much prefer a bigger discount towards the purchase of one watch, but this seems to be their standard rules.

I have a smaller wrist and prefer smaller and lighter weight watches. The Navitimer fit me well (maybe even a bit small ) with it's small 35mm diameter.

Models I am considering:
Aerospace (black dial with titanium bracelet - not the newest one now on their website with lines running through the center of the dial)
Emergency (in orange with black Diver Pro or Ocean Racer strap)
Chrono Superocean (black dial with Diver Pro or Ocean Racer strap)


I really like the Aerospace titanium watch because of it's lighter weight and small size. However, I also like having a mechanical automatic watch that can be serviced for years to come. The emergency looks good and would add something completely unique to my watch collection. I also do a lot of back woods camping and wheeling, so it could be useful someday.

Let me know what you guys think about the discount offers and my watch choices.

Chrono Superocean is 42mm.

Yeah. gotcha. I was thinking of the SO Heritage.....

I'd definitely get the SO Heritage Chrono if it was any smaller. I tried on the non-chrono version and it was far to big for me.

Same here. I love it, but 46mm just looks huge on me and I don't like that.....went with the Superocean II and I love it.
