The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello,

I'm Jack , 35 years from the Netherlands.

After a bumpy ride flipping watches

Rolex Datejust 16030
Rolex Datejust 6605
Omega Speedmaster Reduced "Cart series"
Rolex Datejust 116200
Rolex Datejust 16014
Rolex Explorer II 16570
Rolex Datejust 16200

First I bought a Seiko Arctura Chrono, I am going to South America this summer for about six weeks, didn't want to take any risk with a watch, It is surprisingly accurate, within 1 second a month.

It was time for me to look for a compromise between rugged, GMT, Chrono and a little stylish.
I decided to buy a Breitling Chronomat Longitude Chronometer A23048 in the completely brushed finish.

The lume is like Radio-active, it glows like a torch.
The bracelet is really comfortable though rather nasty to size when never handled before.
The saphire is crazy, when seen from upfront it seems there's no saphire at all, just a dial.

Everything on this watch feels firm and sturdy though it's a little high on the wrist.

Now I am going to enjoy it, here's a little picture of it, next few days i'll make some sweet wrist shots.

For now I am really satisfied with the cost/feel ratio

Nice choice and welcome to the Breitling family

Very nice watch, welcome to Breitling ownership.

Just made these pictures, incredible how there seems to be no crystal.

Yes the Breitling double-sided AR is one of the best out there IMO. That's a real classic beauty you have there. Congratulations!

PS - I'm glad you aligned that bezel from the first set of pictures!

Hi, welcome to the site,

Great pics, the Longitude is on my list of Lings to own, but in blue.
