Looking for some honest opinions here. So I have a navitimer world and an aerospace co-pilot. I just added a new edition to the family today which is the super ocean heritage 46mm with a black dial. I got the watch today and am slowly warming up to it but what do you guys think of the watch. It's deff. nice and classy however, do you think the 46mm with this simple design takes away from the look. Opinions please?

Like anything else, not everyone's cup of tea, but in my opinion quite classic and graceful. Though it is a tad on the large size for me, if you have the wrist to pull it off, nothing wrong with that.

I really didn't like this watch at first, but it's growing on me. I prefer the Chrono version, I think the non-chrono is a bit too big with nothing really going on on the dial, but it's still a great looking watch in my opinion. What dial color do you have? The best looking combo with this watch in my opinion is the black dial on the OR strap.

It is the most traditional and "Ivy League" of the Breitlings in my philistine opinion. So I can admire it on that level, but I it isn't on my short list to be honest.

I love it. I think it harks back to Breitling's golden period. I especially love the bronze.

I love it, but then I am biased as I own one :D . I find it a hugely versatile watch, looks as good with a suit as it does at a weekend. Mines on an OR.

Hi

The Black SO Chrono is my wifes favorite in my collection. I love the blue dial non chrono too, a great Jeans and T shirt watch!

I really enjoy wearing mine.

Wasn't a big fan when it first came out, but like it a lot more now. Personally I prefer the chrono, but my wife has the 38 and loves it.

In my opinion, I'm really not a fan of this timepiece. The bracelet is long overdue for an update. The Chronograph version has grown on me, but I wouldn't buy it because of the bracelet.

As long as you are happy with your purchase, that's all that matters.

Enjoy your timepiece!

SOH 46 was the first B I bought, so I am a bit biased, but as dive watches go, I think the SOH is great. The size is mitigated a bit b/c it is not as tall, and it can be pulled off by even guys with smaller wrists.

Not a fan of the bracelet, but on rubber with a clasp this is a great weekend watch

To be really honest....
I sold mine beause it was way to big for my 6.25 wrist. otherwise I would have kept it because its a beautiful watch!

Quick off-topic question. Am I the only one who doesn't consider this a dive watch? To me a real dive watch should have a bezel that could actually be useful for measuring time while diving, this doesn't really do that, much like the SOII in my opinion.

Anyway, back on topic. Either way I do like the watch, but I hate the bracelet, I get the heritage thing going on with it, but other than that I'd go with a strap.
