The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi, I'm new in the forum and I'd like to start off a little poll..
so.. whats your favorite Breitling? =)

Mine is the Breitling Chronomat Luna Chronograph - I think it has like the best visual appearance and I like the fact you can see the moon phases! Very nice watch..

1952 Breitling unitime ref 1260

Baume & Mercier Riviera 200m, silver dial/aquamarine bezel

It will have to be one of these three but I simply can not decide which one.

The centre one above for me...

Breitling Chronomat 01 Limited Edition
Breitling Navitimer 01 46mm

That is the one I would expect you to pick of course and funnily enough that's the one that gets most of my wrist time, however I can still not call it my favourite.
As I said, decision is not possible, at this point in time at least.

My favourite Breitling is one I've not even seen in the flesh yet! The new 46mm Navitimer 01. That's the Breitling I've been waiting circa 20 years for.

Not a chance that I could answer this with a single watch - best that I own, best that I could aspire to own, best fantasy piece, best modern piece, best vintage piece, there are so many that I could pick. I tried to answer on the basis of 'if the house is on fire and you could only grab one Breitling which would it be' - I think that I'd be barbecued while trying to decide

For me right now it's my Unitime Pilot. But I'm sure that will change at some point

I can understand your dilemma. The most iconic Breitling, the flagship modern Breitling, one of the most traditional Breitling with the old logo. 3 LE legends all in yr possession... I cannot think of anything else if the 3 musketeers are not yr favorites. If you were to ever sell them, you can sell them in one package

The Navitimer (I like mine the best (1903) but a close second would be the Navi 01).


That's hilarious Roff, probably because it's true.


That's a really really nice trio Wessa. I'd happily own those three.

The only two Breitlings that I have owned are the Hercules and Chronomat and they are my favorites in that order. I am not a fan of the vintage designs; I like contemporary. And it is my belief that Breitling are currently making the most attractive and functional mechanical watches in the industry. I'd have loved for them to retain the design of their flagship Chronomat with only subtle refinements. But yeah I understand the need for them to go inhouse. Hopefully they will retain the base design from now on. I want the Chronomat to be a Datejust or Submariner.

Mine is the steel 815 i,ve had from new.

By Far my 6.75. I absolutely love the look, feel and finish of this watch. I know this line has much contempt within BS, but it is def my daily wearer. Granted, I do only have two Breitlings for now.....
