The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have had my breitling for a couple of years and as soon as i made the purchase i knew i wanted to put on a hornback strap. First i bought the brown/honey giant hornback and then a white big hornback which quickly became my favourite and gets alot of wrist time as you can tell from the wear in the photos. I think the stainless steel bracelet that i got with it has had only two hours wear.

Thats certainly different!

Honest opinion? I really like hornback straps (the darker ones particularly)......., but I'm just not sure about them with the Navi World. To me the Navi is a very finely constructed and classic looking piece (I have a World myself), and I just think hornbacks are a little too "rustic" for the Navi somehow.

So anyway - great watch, and nice straps - just not sure about them together!

I appreciate your honesty and completely understand the classic navitimer style of the world although for me i think its the worlds larger more contemporary size that opens it up to different more robust and exotic strap options than its little brother. I only have one breitling and by combining it with these exotic straps it opens up my options to wear it in many different, more casual, circumstances that i probably wouldnt have with the fine classic styled ss bracelet. Also i absolutely love hornback crocodile leather.
