I have been looking all over for a travel case for my Skyland. I have the watch on an Ocean Racer Strap. All the travel cases I have seen are for watches that lay flat which does not work with the Ocean Racer strap or they fit the strap with little padding. The only thing that I has come close is a Raymond Weil watch case that was very padded and seems like it would fit the watch. Any suggestions or adivce would be great.

Thanks,

I think that the small case that your Breitling came in (the one with the pillow that sits in the Bakelite box) is suppoesed to be a travel case.

:yeahthat

It works well. Also the padded cases that you get when you have your Breitling serviced are also good, you just may need to modify the padding a bit. If you don't have one you can snag them on eBay for about $25.

Thanks for the reply guys.

The travel case that came with my watch is good, just wanted more padding. I have a case that you get from service, but the watch does not fit. I can't get the watch to lay flat with the Ocean Racer strap.

That sounds strange. I've travelled the last two weekends, having my SA on the wrist and a SO on the OR deployant clasp with me, sitting in the Breitling service case. No problems at all, no need to adjust the padding or anything else - just strap the watch around the foam as you would do with any other watch.
