The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Tom, this has nothing to do with the Hindenburg or a Zeppelin. Do I win a prize for spotting your comment?

Regarding the OP. Why orange rather than yellow. This is like an April fools, right?

Ladies and gentlemen, after the abominations that were the limited edition B01s Breitling is pleased to announce that normal service is resumed on Breitling LEs.

No doubt they will be super limited editions of 2,000 each.



Seriously, how can Breitling expect to be taken seriously as a luxury watch brand when they do things like this?

None of what I consider(ed) peers of Breitling's would go to market with something like this

They're ruining their image by releasing crap like this!! I hope they have orange and red matching rubber straps! I'm so aggravated that I just wasted money on the Breitling book...it will make it's way into the fire pit now!

Awful, just awful. Hard to believe they let this get made public. I can only assume some young marketing idiot is now in charge.

The puzzling thing to me is... the Skyracer, one could say is closer to the Windrider range in style and price, not toward the lower Aeromarine line (nothing wrong with this range mind you). Why would one want to 'cheapen' the look of this model ? They've obviously gone more sporty with the SO II Abyss, but this is a little weird to say the least, even from someone who likes a bit of variety .

Even more bizarre for me is that the 'regular' Skyracer was discontinued this year so there are only the 'variety' options.

Skyracer is in the Professional range, correct? I'm sure they'll make great pro watches if you're also a CLOWN!

It's hard to believe these are from the same brand that has just released the 01 LEs (Navi, TransOcean etc). Wow!

Well I don't know what to say that has not already been said, but this seems like a cruel joke.

They should rename it the JELLY BEAN...if you are going to go down, go down swinging!! They need to add yellow, green, blue...and for the ladies a 36mm version in pink or purple.

Hell...I can design watches. Put me on the payroll Breitling!!

I DONT HATE IT, ITS NOT THAT BAD, IM NOT GONNA BUY ONE, BUT IT NOT THE WORST THING IVE EVER SEEN

What IS the worst thing you have ever seen Geoff? I can't think of an LE I have crossed from Ling worse than this. Certainly is a new low for me. I could have accepted it in Yellow.

Are we going to start taking bets on which model will be released in limited edition blacksteel this year? These things look horrible.
