Hey guys,

Would any of you consider adding a digital Co-Pilot to a SuperOcean Heritage?

I have the SO Heritage "Green" edition.

I like the idea of having the extra functionality of the digital Co-Pilot but I'm not sure it would look right.

My other issue is that I absolutely love the mesh bracelet with this watch and I would have to dith it if I were to go with the Co-Pilot.

Have any of you ever combined these two or witnessed it done? Any opinions would be gratefully received.

Personally I think it'd look absolutely hideous if you could somehow shoe-horn a Co-Pilot onto an SO. The two looks are poles apart IMO.

Fortunately however, those helpful chaps at Breitling have made it nigh-on impossible to fit one anyway as firstly there are no 24mm Co-Pilots so it wouldn't fit SO's lugs, and secondly the Pro II (which is what you'd have to fit it to) wouldn't fit right on account of the different end-links.

But trust me, it's honestly for the best that those two things are incompatible! Think of the SO like lobster thermidor, and the Co-Pilot like chocolate cake : both very tasty on their own, but utterly disgusting if served together in the same dish! :wink: :lol:

Great advice Mr Driver.

I was kinda thinking the same.

Maybe I will have to buy an Emergency or an AeroSpace before I can have a Co-Pilot. Although they also have the functionality built in.

So, everyone, what Breitlings best suit the digital Co-Pilot?

Personally I think the Airwolf looks great with the Co-Pilot, but really any of them with the digital display look good with the Co-Pilot. I'm not a fan of pure analogue display watches with the Co-Pilot : just looks a bit odd to me.

+1. The Airwolf looks fantastic on Pro II with the Co-Pilot attached.
