I am considering a limited edition dial run for the USAFA cadets of 2010.

I know that there are several styles and my personal watch the Navitimer. However, that said can I get some feedback from others on their actual flight usage utility on these.

1. Navitimer
2. Skyracer
3. Aerospace.

I have seen that John Privette Says on August 13th, 2007 at 4:29 pm under the ltd edition blog that he is doing a run for pilots at Luke AFB for customized Aerospace watches. So that being said I proposed the Aerospace.

Can I get more real life pilot feedback here please. Thanks

Well im not a pilot, but if I was wouldn't the emergency be a perfect pilot watch? I mean you can of course use the watch in the event of an emergency, it sends the homing beacon.

Myself being a pilot I would perfer either the emergency or the Navitimer. The navitimer is good but even so it probably will never replace my e6-b so that being said I would have to chose the emergency on this one.

hello needs2know,

It all depends, what You are flying.
For airliner use, I would say, a Navitimer is the nicest.

For private pilot in small aircraft, I would recommend the Skyracer. Its the only one, where You can even hear the alarm in the cockpit, and the functionality is great. If You have smaller people, rather take an aerospace with copilot. Depends, wht You like better.

If You are an extreme pilot, like bush flying, arctic expeditions, at home in the rockies or an other type of high risk pilot, You should go for the emergency.

best greatings
Thomas
(PPL, using navitimer or emergency)

I have received from Breitling the requirements.

its missing the logo but:


LOGO WATCH ORDER REQUIREMENTS



• Only 3 models are available for logo printing: Emergency, Airwolf and Aerospace – please see our website to view dial color options

• A minimum of 50 pieces is required of the same dial color and same logo design.

• Camera Ready artwork for logo sent by e-mail file, preferably jpeg. Logo artwork sent must be exactly how you want it to appear on the dial (images of patches or pins are not acceptable)

• Pantone color numbers (PMS) are required (A Pantone color is an international printing language providing an accurate method for the reproduction and control of color) – we cannot create an image or logo dial without these numbers

• Prepayment in the form of one bank check is required after the image of the watch has been approved

• Shipment of watches are made to one U.S. address – not to individual addresses

• Sales tax is charged only on orders shipping to CT, NY, FL & CA

• Approximately 6 month delivery term after payment has been received and image has been approved

• Prices available upon request

PS military group by is 25 not 50 due to size.

Nice price breaks on the watch for miltary. Of course the airwolf is more expensive.
