Personally think the entire avenger ii collection is due for an update. Don't think we've seen anything other then the bandit update since 2013. We all are forced to wait and see. BTW blue seawolf would be ideal.

I'd like to see a standard 1915 monopusher Transocean model introduced or even something similar to the LE version with the hinged caseback.

I'd love to see them dig into the funkier 70s catalogues like omega and Tudor have. Some of the Chrono- matics were brilliant.

I'll be interested to see what new pieces Breitling may introduce that are a nod to the Willy Breitling era. There has been a trend in this direction over the last few years, which is a good thing IMO.

As for predictions -- wonder whether a GMT version of the Chronomat Airborne is in the offing...

Last night I had the opportunity to visit the new location of the New York City Breitling Boutique. Located at the corner of 57th St. and Madison Ave. the new Boutique is absolutely stunning with "to die for" views of Midtown Manhattan. Breitling was hosting their monthly "Night Flight" and during a presentation by Breitling the topic of Basel 2016 was discussed. In additions to various models that has been recently released, reference was made to the debut of "new materials" in the manufacturing process. So with that discussion in mind, I can continue to hold out hope for a ceramic cased Navitimer!!

I'd like to see a simple full calendar module (like the Valjoux 72C and ETA-Valjoux 7751 or even a moonphase-less version of the Blancpain FF Chrono Calendar: http://www.rruegger.ch/images/basel_201 ... chrono.jpg) on the B01, or big date at 12 and weekday somewhere else, + fly-back. All packed in the Chronomat 41, Airborne bezel, BEB dial without square in the middle.
That's all... :)

Very interesting! Should make for an interesting reveal next week!

I have heard that the new NYC Boutique is quite impressive -- and I already really enjoyed the previous location. Gotta check it out!

I bet we will also see more in house Quartz movements given that ETA is pulling the plug on outside sales
Come 2020

I've just seen a 1884 pc LE Montbrillant Datora on fb, renamed as Navitimer 1884 in a 46 mm case :( to be introduced in 2 days or so. I'm very disappointed because I'm expecting behind the recent withdrawal of the Montbrillant Datora the emerging of a similar simple full calendar model, already based on the B01 caliber, hopefully in a 40 mm size too... (as the Montbrillant B01). The Chronomat 41 should also get such a classic simple full calendar option at a certain point... nothing like that in the pipeline yet... still hoping though.

pics? Also when Breathing mentions new materials, I can only think of how they came out with the tungsten bezel on the Galactic series models. I've still never seen one of those in person and I don't recall seeing any across any of the watch forums. A ceramic Navi would be nice, but I doubt it will happen.
