I haven't been on this forum for a loooong time. I've been in love with this watch for a couple of years. Finally the opportunity presented itself and I grabbed it. I hope you like it. What do you think ?

Lovely Chronospace! And the mesh is fabulous. May I ask what is the lug size on your watch?

Not a big fan of DLC, but in this case looks spot-on for the Chronospace. I love the sub-dials matching the face too, would love to have them on mine, looks very stealthy!
Here's mine in comparison with silver sub-dials.

I really need to ask the question as to why there is so little love for the Chronospace, it's a stunning looking watch, as is the Navi' of course, but it seems to be overshadowed by it's illustrious cousins. There is that peace of mind over the Navi' though, rated at 200mts, you don't have to worry about having an impromptu swim.

I really like both of those gents. The Chronospace was the first Breitling I became aware of many years ago when a work buddy showed me one at a Jeweler. I fell in love with the brand then though it was still a few years before I could afford one. I still have never owned a Chronospace, but it is on my short list along with a Navi someday.

I know. The Chronospace is also the reason I fell in love with Breitling. To me it's like a Man's Navi. The heavier Bezel and thicker Minute and Hour indicators makes it look meaner. Navi is more of a dress watch to me. The Choronospace is an all rounder. Dress, swim and everything in between. I have no idea why it isn't getting more love. Enjoy yours. It's a awesome machine!!
