Post subject:  Skyracer Raven or Chronomat evo?
Hello guys,i would love to hear your opinions on this.
This week i'm going to buy my 3d Breitling(already own a Skyland & an aerospace-co pilot).
I was offered at the same price a Skyracer Raven or a Chronomat Evo mother of pearls dial.Both on strap.
I like both watches and i know the chronomat is an iconic ''B'' model and extremely well build.
From the other hand i like the central minute totalizer of the skyracer Raven and the bicompax dial.But i am not so keen about the modular movement.I think maybe it lacks in reliability and long term mentainance services(ex future parts availability,service outside Breitling etc) compared with the B13. :roll:
What would you choose?Price i was quoted is exact the same for both models new on strap.

Thank you in advance! :)

Chronomat Evo, without a doubt. An incredibly versatile piece that will diversify your collection more. Easy to dress up or down.

Have you seen the B01 MOP dial? That's also a sick piece.

Thanks,B01fan!
I am leaning towards chronomat evo so far....

B01 is a spectacular watch,i have seen a lot of versions so far but not the MOP one!Maybe my next ''B'' purchase.I just prefer to let the new caliber run for a couple of years first :wink:

Like the symmetry of the Skyracer dial, but plastic/rubber bezels are bit of a deal breaker for me, unless they're set in metal like the new SuperOcean.

Just bought a Chronomat myself. It's a very tactile watch with the slightly curved case sides, cambered crystal etc. My first experience with a pilot bracelet, and it's a definite cut above the ProII

Based on appearance! Not too familiar with breitling movements just yet.

I would most def cast a vote for the chronomat. You already have two professional series watches. Might as well throw in a windrider. Branch out your collection.

The Skyracer is my favorite Breitling. I have the Raven as well. Here's the deal - if you get a Raven plan to wear it on rubber only. It looks silly on a bracelet. The bezel is rubber over SS.

BUT, the Chronomat is THE Breitling. My vote is go for something in the Windrider range and of the 2 choices -that's the Chronomat.
