All,
Now I don't really like Breitling and this is the first one I've tried on that does it for me. I've been looking for a watch which I can grab and go, fits under a shirt cuff so does me for work with a suit especially when I'm travelling. I've been on the look out for one which had GMT as well and doesn't look too much like a Diver.
So here is the Breitling Colt GMT+ from 2010/11. I know this wasn't popular at the time due to the integrated strap and/or bracelet but I paid about £500 under the going 2nd hand price and this was NOS with 2 year warranty from an AD. Not a grey import - a full UK AD...
So apart from being a Breitling, this meets everything I wanted in the watch and I sold 3 to fund one - prefect as part of my collection consolidation of focusing on a smaller number of higher quality watches. Now I've always thought Breitling had the quality it was just most of them were either complicated or too much bling for my taste - this one is much more subtle and the Deployant Clasp is great for it's dive/micro adjustment. So a diver that doesn't look like a diver and has a rubber strap with dive extension, a moveable dive bezel without any lume - no wonder it wasn't popular at the time, but I love it...
Here's some quick snaps:
Thank you Mr AD
