The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I had a polite request by Mr Speedwing via PM to see some comparison shots of my Panerai Luminor Base 112, Breitling LE Chronomatic 24HR and Graham Chronofighter Oversize GMT.

This is what I have come up with so far.

For reference, I have a 6.5" wrist.

If anybody would like to see anything else then please shout.

Any constructive criticism is very welcome as always.

Nice pics. It's pretty weird when a PAM is the most conservative watch. How comfortable is that Graham? The crown guard thing, if that's what it is, looks like it might be a bit irritating.

You would think so but it is actually one of the comfiest big watches I have worn. There is no crown to dig in to the top of the hand and the trigger mechanism is slightly elevated from the base of the watch so it doesn't dig into the wrist either.

That's cool, what does the trigger thing actually do? Is that just how you operate the chrono? I really shouldn't like them because they're so damn weird looking but I kinda do.

That's correct. The trigger performs the Start/Stop function. The button above performs the Reset.

The story goes that Graham designed this for World War II pilots who needed to wear thick mittens in the freezing conditions of fighter planes. This mechanism only requires very little pressure from the thumb to activate.

Its a very unique feature and I love it. I can understand some people thinking its ugly, because it somehow seems dismembered from the rest of the watch, but I find it very aesthetically appealling.
