Opinions and emotions run high here on the new Breitlings. Without making this another discussion of the pros and cons of the new lineup, what one Breitling introduced in the last 2 years, excluding LEs, is your favorite? So limited to new standard models only. Would you consider purchasing it? (if none, feel free to say so)


Easy call for me - 2011 Navi 01. Already have it.

2011 Navi 01 for me too. I bought the LE, but the standard is easily my favourite non LE.

Same for me - Navi 01 all the way, although I would give it equal top spot with the Transocean Chrono.

Silver dial Transocean Chrono for me, I just wish it had a better bracelet option. It does look really nice on a brown croc though.

Hmmm, I thought by now there might be some SO44, CSO44, or Chronomat 41 or Chronomat GMT hits.

For those of us who don't think of that look when we think of Breitling, I think it may still take a while. I've tried on a "blue" SO44 and actually liked it but I'm not all the way there yet, My favorite is the Navi 01 but since I have a 43mm Navi and the price is also something to get used to, the one I might consider, buying new, is the Transocean Chrono.

I don't intend to divert the topic but for the "would you buy it" question, another distinction lies out there for those of us who typically buy pre-owned; would you buy one of these pre-owned over slightly older models? That might put a Navi 01 on top, even over the models we miss. The SO 44 is growing on me and certainly would at a reduced price. In that context, however, first I'm goin' Fishin'.

Silver dial Transocean on a leather strap defo my favourite, although the mesh strap is growing on me. I actually like the SO44, just not as much as the Transocean.

My pick has got to be the SOH 42, I tried the 46 on and it was way too big for my wrist. Love that new Navi too. Third would be the FF.

it would have to be the GT ice for me. i know at one point i was thinking of flipping it, but i think i got caught in that whole watch craze. the watch fits like a glove and that all white dial almost as high gloss look to it.
