The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all. First post here, and a (potentially) scandalous question.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Breitling fan with two at present (Emergency and a 44mm Steelfish), but occasionally I veer off course. My last pick up was an Omega X-33 Missions, which I'd always admired and it's gotten plenty of wrist time in the last couple years I've had it.

I've been idly looking for an automatic chrono - something that would fit under a shirt cuff a little better than the Steelfish, and recently have been looking hard at the Omega Aqua Terra GMT. I love the "teak" face and display back of the Omega and the second time zone would be useful as I frequently travel internationally.

Of course, I'm on vacation this week, and while out shopping with the better half spot a Chronomat 44 on offer at an *excellent* price (26% off list, new piece). Now I'm debating whether or not the allure of the deal (and a third Breitling) is worth the trade-off on the second time zone, display back and the croc + deployant of the Omega.

I know, you never come to a Breitling forum to ask "should I buy another Breitling" but here I am anyway.

Thanks in advance for the comments.

Welcome to BreitlingSource. I don't do x vs. y advice because that comes down to personal choice, but if you can afford either then you should choose the watch that you prefer. Choosing a better deal over a better (to you) watch is short term. You only pay for it once, you live with the choice every day.

Nicely said Roff!

I'd be tempted by the AT Chrono. Not a greater lover of the Chronomat. Personal choice of course.

Of those two personally I would go with the Chronomat. If it were going against the Planet Ocean, then it would be harder for me to choose: the AT is a bit dressy for my taste.

The AT is a great watch. I have a PO chrono and love it. That said I just ordered a Chronomat gmt. You can't go wrong with either. You just need to make the call yourself.
