I'm looking at the prospect of a Chrono-matic 44mm, a black '00s edition as per:
https://www.breitlingsource.com/watc...itimer_81.html
Any observations, reviews, watch-outs (no pun intended)? The ETA movement is presumably easily serviceable? Is the black ring around the bezel rubber, and if so does it degrade?

38mm Navitimer. Take note Breitling, it doesn't need to be bigger than this.
I picked this up in the watchfinder sale. Very happy with it. A bit smaller dia and much slimmer than watches I tend to wear, but i think the proportions are lovely.

Im going to need a bigger box. Mind you, this Transocean probably represents my last watch purchase for a good long time.

I do enjoy wearing mine.

I'm delighted that everyone is enjoying the thread ressurection, but just a wee reminder that any info pros/cons etc on the chronomatic would be greatly appreciated!
I looked at the silver dial variant and it wears much smaller that the dimensions suggest IMO. I didn’t get it because I wanted a white dial watch at the time and the silver wasn’t what I was after. Shame though as it’s an utterly lovely watch and when I’m in the market for a Navitimer I’ll give this a look too. Not sure about the rubber bezel I’m afraid; maybe an e-mail to Breitling could help (I’ve always found them pretty helpful in the past)

and sorry for the terrible pic., but here's my first Breitling 1973 Navitimer Chronomatic:
I like this re-issue
I has the honour of trying one of these Rattrapante:

Been without a B for about a year, then just took an isolation-something-to-do” punt on this.
Amazing watch. Comedy height but makes me smile! Very comfortable, more so than expected.

Just got this old friend back on its bracelet. She still looks the part, me thinks.
Got the aerospace been a Great watch but love a bit of steel, thinking of trading it for a B1 or a seawolf

After many years of searching I finally found a 1976 Navitimer. A birth year / grail watch, one that will definitely be worn on a regular basis rather than kept in its box.
We have a family tradition of passing down a gold pocket watch and chain from eldest son to eldest son over the last 120 years, this watch will now be included too.

I’m not sure what I think of the new Chronomats yet.
I like them in pictures... when I saw them at the AD I wasn’t so sure.
I think because I had the old one for so many years the new ones just look huge. Still quite fancy the green dial though.

The dial on this one was gorgeous...
