I've looked everywhere but I cannot find the thickness measure of the new TO Chronograph. Does anyone have that value or can measure theirs please?

Thank you in advance.

I've tried it on and inpsected one - it doesn't seem thick by Breitling standards. I have yet to see the actual height measurement. Definitely not a problem for wear with a dress shirt.

On this youtube video it looked surprisingly thick, which was not my recollection.

I do like thick watches (like my Airwolf) but this one is for evenings and dress shirts. I am trying to compare it to the airwolf's 16.7 mm thick.

Thanks

From what I remember, it seemed fairly thick to me, or should I say, "standard Breitling thickness". The thickness is what turned me off.

It seemed about 15mm. I guess I should have clarified - not overly thick for a Breitling.

According to the Chronolog 2012 it is 14.35 mm thick, weighs 91g and has a diameter of 43mm. Never tried one on, so no idea how it wears but it certainly looks good.

Thanks, that's awesome! I should be close at receiving it and I cannot wait! As an aside, I was in a DC AD 2 weeks ago and they were selling serial number 1880ish. So I'm guessing the 2000 series is slowly but surely running out!

As well I was able to compare the thickness with that of the Navi LE and the TO did seem to be just slightly thicker.
