I'm a big Breitling fan and the classics (Navitimer, Chronomat, Blackbird, 45mm SuperOcean/Avenger/Seawolf-line) are all brilliant. But I haven't liked their recent releases that much.
But this is NICE.

Yeah the bezel probably... but the bracelet looks to be all brushed. Fully polished Pro2 bracelet on any Avenger chrono is the ultimate scratch magnet.Originally Posted by Andyg
Just a little busy for me, that one - but I like the way it uses familiar Breitling style elements.
Yes indeed. Back to the roots.
Some of their new models don't even resemble the traditional Breitlings at all.
Really want to see one of these in the flesh because I don't know if I love it or hate it.
I think I'd go for one of the contrasting dials though, either black or silver, because I find the blue on blue hard to read.
Its got lots of great looking elements, but somehow the logo (whatever it is) doesn't stand out enough so it looks like there's a gap there - well, it looks odd to me! I too would like contrasting sub-dials though I'm sure many people would find that that would make really it rather too OTT. Yes, I have vulgar tastes.....
I really like that, blue face and subdials looks great! Very nice

Maybe not recent ones, but they owe more to older designs than the last few decades' designs.
That said, I do rather like this design, even if I have to agree that bezel looks like a guaranteed source of revenue for Breitling every couple of years!

I really like that too. Id like to see the same watch without the tricolor with the usual Breitling logo in the same position
just looks so boring IMHO - could be any generic.Really love this one.

Maybe because I’ve seen it in the metal. Really liked it but there are other watches I’d go for for the budget over that.

Some of the new Breitling offerings are pretty good. Deffo moving in a better direction
Big Breitling fan here but I wish they did more at 40mm
Back in the heyday - when Breitling were real Breitling!
Really liked the aerospace nightmission. Believe they’ve now been discontinued, anybody know if they’re likely to release something similar in future?
Always loved that model, was it a headwind big date? Liked the big date blackbird too a few years later I thinkBack in the heyday - when Breitling were real Breitling!
Edit- nearly right-just read the dial- crosswind!
It's SO nice to see the "bullet" style bracelet coming back. I really like that; Breitling have produced some belting designs in the past couple of years.
This is 42mm so moderately sized. Probably wears quite small because of "Daytona-style" rounded, smooth bezel.
I don’t really like Breitlings.
Oh no. Wait.....
...I love them.
Can’t promise I’ll stop at 3.
Quite fancy the new Premier B01 Norton with the reverse panda dial.
But a distant dream given current funds.
Though since Norton have gone bust you might be able to get quite a good discount on those ...
You’re not wrong.
RRP is £6,700.
Can get a brand new one from an AD for around £4,500 pre haggle.
@jfb1977: Chronmat B01 was something that I really disliked when it came out. When I saw one in the flesh I changed my mind. I mean completely. It's an amazing looking watch. My favorite is the blue dial version. Your white one is a beauty too.
Really love this one.
I am new to the Forums and have a small collection including one of these, I got it for well under list and don’t think I would go to RRP for it but it’s a great watch and wears well and pretty small for its size. It’s something different from my other Breitling’s too.
