Been eyeballin' this since it came out. The improvements over the previous model are fantastic. I don't have a single complaint.

Highly recommend it if you've been considering an Aerospace.

The beveled crystal is a great addition.

Two thumbs up from me - outstanding. Olive NATO a terrific choice too.

Have the same watch; best Aero of the dozen or so that I have owned and an absolutely perfect work day watch to wear under shirt cuffs...

I'm a huge fan of the aerospace. Are there any differences in functions over the last model? Will NATO scratch the case back? I'm considering a NATO or Zulu, but don't want to scratch the case back. It's a great watch.

same functions as all of the previous Aeros but like the Avantage and post Avantage versions, it has the backlight. I have never had a NATO damage a caseback in any way...

Very nice, congrats! Gray dial looks good with the titanium case.

There's no metal touching the case. It's just nylon. The aerospace on a nato is insanely comfortable and light. I highly recommend maratac for these since i thing the style of the boxy rings matches the watch best b

Thank for the info, very helpful. The only reason I'm asking about the scratches is because I had a seiko ss case back, and the NATO strap left marks on the case back. Maybe it's different with TI. Thanks again.

I don't necessarily agree that the changes represent "improvements" over my bronze-dialed version of the outgoing model, but I think do think this is a very nice update of the model. That's a real beauty you got there!

The watch has such a modern feel to it now. And as the name implies, it should be oozing that. I've always wanted a Super Quartz by Breitling, and this is the one! Congrats.

I have the previous model, but the new version does look good on that NATO strap :drool:

Also, props for having the dedication to shave your arms! My watches sometimes remind me of a David Attenborough documentary... 'and peeking through the undergrowth, we see the elusive Breitling Aerospace...'

Some people insist that nylon natos put faint scratches on the caseback but I think you'd have to look pretty closely. For the fretful (I'm in that camp) you can buy 2-piece Maratac zulus which give you the aesthetic if not nato-functionality of a nato strap.

Post subject:  Re: Aerospace just in

thanks for posting the photos of your Aero on NATO. Been undecided on what strap to swap around with my older Aerospace (rubber or leather) and never really considered the NATO strap....until now :)

Post subject:  Re: Aerospace just in

Yeah, I can only imagine how light an Aerospace must be on a NATO strap.

Does a NATO have to go all the way behind the watch head? Couldn't it be manufactured or modified to use lugs?
