just to start, I LOVE MINE, but it seams that this model is the unspoken one. I never see any post about the watch want to see who else has one and how they like it.

As it happens I got one 2 weeks ago and I like it a lot. It fits perfectly on my relatively small wrist and although it has only 39 mm diameter it still has that unique Breitling look.

And here I thought I was the only Chrono Cockpit owner! I love mine as well. In addition to the pilot bracelet, I have two leather straps and a breitling rubber strap as alternatives.

Gilbert, that's a classic dial, before they started to "B01" it. Very nice.

I think the Chrono Cockpit fell through the cracks for a lot of people. When the Chronomat Evolution came out, the Chrono Cockpit was basically a continuation of the pre-Evo Chronomat, only in an Evo-style case. Most people looked at the Evo as the new "big thing," and I think the Chrono Cockpit had a recognition problem, especially alongside the 41mm standard watch version. I still think it was a nice piece, though, prior to the B01-like dials. I'm sorry they discontinued it, although I'm more sorry they discontinued the pre-Evo Chronomat.

Thanks, I do get a lot of enjoyment from wearing it. The flawless detail that goes into these watches always amazes me.
