When you catch a glimpse of a watch whats the one that shouts Breitling to you? To me, I think it's a Black dialled Navi, white sub dials on black leather, kinda unmistake.

What shouts to you?

Three of them stand out to me. The Navi is number one and I think you have the quintessential dial and strap combo nailed, though the Navi bracelet is easy to spot. Rider tab pieces, particularly the older style on the Chronomat are easy to spot. I've also noticed that an Aerospace is easy to spot.

I would think most hard core Breitling people would say the Navi, but based on when/where I came to know the brand a large date Blackbird on bracelet screams Breitling to me from across the room.

That's it. Everything else exists to fill out the product line.

Navi for sure, but for me it's silver. I see way to many black, resist following the herd.

See now I think that the black Navi is the iconic Breitling, but it's far too classy to "shout", it's the subtle statement of a bespoke suit in a nice blue bird's eye - classic without being one of the crowd.

Shouting has to be more of a Super Avenger, yellow Seawolf type thing with perhaps a more colourful Evo as the slightly raised voice :lol:

Most has been said already while I was sleeping ;-)
But I'll generalize a bit:

- any Navi/Montbrillant
- any model with rider tabs on the bezel
- Aerospace and B-1

I see any of the above especially on their respective stainless steel bracelets and to me they immediately scream
