Spotted two Breitlings yesterday during the super bowl commercials:

1. I believe it was an Emergency on Seinfeld's wrist during the Acura commercial:

2. A all black face Transocean Chrono during the Cadillac commercial:

My guess for Seinfeld was a white Chronospace super quartz with mesh bracelet. I must have missed the Cadillac one. Looking at both now, I still think Chronospace for Seinfeld. Transocean Chrono looks about right, but it is a bad angle. I'm glad I'm not the only one looking at that stuff during a commercial! Nice find.

The Breitling in the Acura commercial was a white dial Aerospace. :lingsrock:

Correct. It was a Transocean Chronograph!
Look at the 14" mark.

I think Seinfeld is wearing an Aerospace. It doesn't look big enough to be a Chronospace, and it's on a Pro II.

I'm not sure what's in the Cadillac commercial. It kind of looks like a TOC, but the numbering between the indices and the rehaut doesn't appear to match the tachymetre scale on the TOC.

From that shot it does look like an Aerospace and a Pro II. If I paid someone to wear a watch I supplied, I would insist on a better wrist shot!

Far be it from me to downplay corporate greed, but Jerry Seinfeld is a well-known Breitling fan who often wears them with no prompting from the company. I'm not sure that's a product placement.

Crown looks too big for a TO, but mostly the hands have circles on the butt ends which the TOC does not have.

Seinfeld definitly wearing an Aerospace.

...hate to say it but it is not a Transocean Chrono. There is no B or "Breitling" under the top baton, the lume dots are not there and the outer dial markings are completely different. The crown is also a different shape. I'm looking at the real thing on my wrist and comparing it to the video and it's close but not a TOC.

We're a strange bunch aren't we? :?

Well this one is without question; Boomer Esiason presents NY Giants Coach Tom Coughlin with a Breitling Avenger. The facebook post said it was PRIOR to the Giants victory. Maybe Breitling knew something.....

I think Boomer has a few himself. I recall reading years ago about how much he liked his Headwind.
