Based on the UK price and allowing for the fact that it includes VAT it should come out around $4,000 - $4,200 on bracelet - not bad.

If the small arabics are lumed that is a big plus. Don't really like the skeleton hour hand and would like to see the crown larger and easier to operate (maybe is on this larger case ?).

Overall, an improvement on looks alone.

"slightly larger" case, no details though


Ah, interesting. The early ones were 40mm and it went 42mm in 2005.


If it's 44mm, it has my interest. I always thought the previous versions wore too small.

This.....works?! Like the dial, are applied wings new? Bezel font is ok. Really like the integrated rider tabs, hands, everything seems slightly upscale. Just don't mess up the size and price, and we might actually have a consensus approval of a new Breitling. When's the last time we had that for a non-Navitimer?

Waiting for my AD to get back to me on the specs, maybe Justin or Fear can get us some details; this may be my first Aerospace, I really like the clean dial on this model.


George is partying it up with Roger Federer in Basel. I can get all the specs next week.

I just took another look and realized the elimination of the 'railroad track' minutes scale. This helps with an overall cleaner looking dial.

This is another one that the more I look at it the more I like it. Nicer size at 43mm, and I really like the cleaner looking dial. And I'm liking that price too!

Not bad at all! I really like the new PROIII bracelet as well. I am still keenly interested in the Omega Z-33, but more and more I am coming to love the Aerospace. These new updates make it even more appealing.

Wonder if they will offer some cool dial colours like the Emergency II? Would be wonderful to see it in that orange or yellow dial!

I would love to own a Breitling again some day, and a HEQ in titanium would certainly be the cat's arse! At that price I find it quite affordable.

Cheers,
Carl

I like it. I miss my Aerospace and that one would almost make me get another.
