Breitling could adopt the solar charging technology for it's quartz models. There may be good reasons for them not to do so, maybe the power required by the super quartz movements makes this difficult but with other brands offering multi function watches that recharge themselves I doubt it. I love the B50 & B55 but the prospect of needing a charger when away from home for long periods of time deters me from considering either. The solar technology seems proven and its trouble free, apparently more so than Breitling's charging system which has had its glitches. Also, the benefit of not having the 'EOL' message every three or so years to me has some appeal. I'm pretty sure that most watch owners, including those who spend their lives in plane cockpits, would spend enough time in lit conditions to keep their watches charged up. As for GPS and Atomic time keeping..............surely this is the stuff that Breitling should consider for their professional models. I know that some may spend a lot of their time out of range of a calibration signal but the facility would have great benefits. Is there a reason why Breitling has overlooked these technologies? To me it's ironic that I set my superquartz Lings by my 10 year old Oregon Scientific RC alarm clock...............I know this would require the development of new or heavily developed movements but surely worth the investment.
