The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Head to head competition the same as last year was the runaway winner in the vote so all that I need now is 64 watches to compete and we can get started. I warn you now that I have a couple of trips coming up in the next couple of weeks so there may be a slight delay in the early rounds.

I'll keep this thread up to date as best I can with the list of watches, but please help me out a little bit:

1. Read what's already been nominated to avoid duplication!
2. Give me enough details to identify the watch - Navitimer isn't very helpful. Maybe link to the page on the site for the watch if there is one to make it very clear. I know that I will still have to clarify some, but a little basic thought goes a long way.
3. Unless stated I am going to assume that the regular model is being nominated. If you want to specifically nominate an LE please make sure that it is materially different from the regular model - a black steel for example, a dial logo isn't really different. Also, consider whether we need both in the contest or whether the regular model is sufficient.

There should be plenty of opportunity for everyone to get their favourite in before we hit the limit. I'll start by including last year's winner as that was the preferred option in the vote.

Crosswind Special LE. (two sub dials) and Chrono Avenger 69 (600 piece edition)

Quite a few Breitlings, most of them starting with the letter C.

Which one - the 600 piece mecha-quartz or the 25 piece automatic?

Transocean Chronograph 1461

I nominate the 2008-09 SuperOcean A17360. It may not have as many fans as the mighty Navitimer 01, but its still got some fans!

Transocean chronograph B01

Blackbird A44359

Navi 806
Navi 809
Transocean Chrono LE (I think this is a good representative for the whole TOC range... reasonable availability, plus what I feel is nice dial options)
Top Time 810
Cosmonaute Lemania Serie Speciale (would do a good job representing the whole Lemania era of Cosmonautes)
SuperOcean Steelfish
Emergency 1

B-1 Chronometer non-LE
