This is a very popular website amongst Breitling enthusiasts - who knows, someone might be listening and may go back to the original Breitling. |

I don't have a lot of hope to be honest. I am expecting a 3 hand in house to be announced, but otherwise I see a continuation of the bizarre designs, DLC and rubber. I would love to see innovative materials and non traditional (for Breitling) complications - retrogrades, power reserves, etc but I'm not expecting it. |

At SIHH i'd love to see Panerai to release a Luminor with inhouse manual wind movement in a base case. I'd love to see Jaeger release an Extreme World Alarm style watch in a smaller case. I really want a Pilot dial so I'd love to see IWC release a big pilot in the 5001 case. At Basel, I'd like to see Breitling put the inhouse in the World and offer it in the Navi B01 case for us smaller wristed guys. I'd also like to hear plans about the expansion on the inhouse movement with added complications; big date, no chrono, day/date, etc. Love to see Rolex release a ceramic bezel Daytona on the SS models and a blue dial blue ceramic SS sub. |

i remember reading somewhere that there were rumors about Breitling releasing a hand wound piece. no idea if thats true. my guess is that we will see the a in house movement making its way over to the b4b line? |

What I EXPECT from Breitling next year? More disappointment, and another nail in the coffin of my once total appreciation of the brand. What I'd LIKE to see from Breitling next year? Primarily (as already said) the B04 to make it into an unbutchered Navi World, plus an in-house 3 hand movement in a non-rubber bezeled diver to rival the Deepsea. I'd also like to see a decent BB replacement (in-house of course), and I'd love to see a new left hand crown non-rubber bezel Chronomatic - essentially a rerelease of the old CM44 with an in-house. That'd do for me! |

Yeah, i had heard that there might be a 24hr in house model coming. Someone mentioned somewhere that it might be manual. If the new Colt is anything to go by, I'm not holding much hope for the new year. I'm kind of losing hope. I must admit that I'm considering saving up my first non Breitling purchase ever; either a white dial Explorer II or a white dial Milgauss. |

The Navi 01 and Montbrillant 01 look great!! I'd like to see a 42mm version of the SuperOcean Herritage chrono LE with the white dial and black sub-dials. I'd also like to see Rolex finally AR coat their crystals. |

I echo all the hopes for Breitling as well as pessimism. A ceramic bezel diver sounds fascinating (I'm guessing that is what FEAR is hinting at). I'd love to see the World with an in-house in a manageable size (43mm) like Sergio suggested, but don't see it happening. Here's a thought Breitling - re-release the Chrono-matic 44 Navi style bracelet and put it on the TO instead of the silly mesh. I had my AD slap my bracelet on one of their TOs and it looked FANTASTIC!!!! The AD bemoaned the mesh bracelet and how so many customers can't get past it. Dump the mesh and slap the CM Navi bracelet on there and it is a winner. A simple fix. Are you listening guys - you already have the correct bracelet. Use it! |
