The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I would like to see a super avenger with a blackbird dial all brush case.

I would like to see a pvd coated chrono-matic...

A refaced Navi World. Unless it looks worse than the present Navi World.

1) A successor to the Headwind (dial made of silver, day of the week display)
2) Navitimer (not the World) with B01 movement
3) Blackbird with B01 movement
4) A true successor to the B-1, ie. a more elegant design than the Airwolf
5) New face to the SuperOcean, without the hollow arabic numbers

Well, we ALL know what I'm going to say!

A traditionally styled (so no rubber on it please!), B01-equiped Navitimer, with a case-size between 44mm and 47mm.

That's all I want to see from Breitling this year.

A return of the Chrono-Matic crown to the proper side. Not gonna happen - but that's what I would like to see.

B-1 in SA size with Emergency antenna!

Yes we do

Big-sized in-house Navi (with date at either 3 or 6) would do me just fine. With calf strap, no aero racer stuff please.

Well I'm hard to please......

A B01 in a case that befits the history of the brand - a Navitimer would be ideal
A chrono-matic that respects the history with a crown on the left
A return to innovation instead of rehashing existing dials and cases
Real value for money instead of $30,000 plus gold versions of a $5,000 watch
A rationalisation of the Aeromarine line rather than a constant addition of slight changes to try and pull even more people into the brand
Something tangibly different in the Professional line that is supposed to be leading edge
Some evidence of an in house haute horlogerie piece in the works

That's all

Whatever is there I'll be taking lots of pics!

The B01 in either a Navitimer (preferrably) or the standard Chronomat.

The B01 in one of the Bentley models - the 6.75 maybe.

And borrowing from Roff (as I think it's a great idea):

How about an option of a normal bezel on the B01 and/or a display back to show off the in house movement. If that happened I would be definitely buying a new Chronomat.

While a B01 equiped Navi would make me a very happy camper, I TOTALLY agree with all these points too. The constant rehashing of dials (or DLC'ing existing models) just seems to show a lack of ideas IMO.... or maybe a lack of investment (or even a lack of available money ) to do anything truly new.

I want to believe that it's because so much R&D money went into the B01, but we'll see. With 2010 coming hard on the heels of the worst luxury goods market for almost 30 years it's hard to believe that there will be truly revolutionary announcements.

It's also sad that I am resigned to not seeing things like DBs and don't even put them on my list anymore!
