The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I saw someone wearing one and had to ask about it, having done some research I have to say the brand makes some fantastic watches. As I understand it when Panerai was bought and moved to geneva the original owners started another watch bran, hence the Firenze.


The watches are impecably made, this video takes you through the entire process of making the parts using the latest technologies and hand assembly and finishing. The cases contain four separate parts that are each assembled using a single block of steel and then attached to gether.

Just like Panerai, they have base models and higher end complications. With prices starting at 2000USD. Quite the bargain in my opinion, the models I like are pictured here and are 2000 and 5000 USD. The limited production runs (ala Panerai) make them very hard to find, but worth the hunt in my opinion.

I love that 6 o clock crown!!!! The mechanism for opening it is cool, and easily changable straps are also a feature. Too cool!!!!

Got a chance to handle a couple of their earlier creations and YES, quality is all there in buckets.....a veritable bargain, a bit like panerai themselves prior to 1998 (when I bought my PVD Destro luminor marina for under $3000)

lol sorry Admin, I thought I had posted this first

Anyhoo, these are great bargains. Alien13 you might be interested to know that I had contacted their Dubai dealer and he is a very informative gentleman, we talked about watches etc and I have to say I am really looking forward to my next trip to Dubai. I am planning on getting both those models, at 3600 Euro BEFORE the 20% discount (what a bargain), how can I afford not to?

Nice! I've wanted a Cronoscopio for a while, but at like $3000 I keep finding other stuff that I'd rather have!

Most of the interesting ones are sold, but this guy's stock does vary from time to time.

Reviving this thread. So has anyone picked up one of these yet or have much info about them? I have one on hold at a local AD but still doing some research on it.

The one I have on hold is the Cronoscopio Mark II L.E. "Oliver Kahn". If anyone has any familiarity with it please chime in.
