Colt 41 durability
I’ve been looking for a daily watch-
My original plan was something with a ceramic bezel. However, I went to the local breitling AD and tried on several models. As I was leaving, I tried on the Colt 41 with the gray dial and was absolutely smitten. My concern is the durability of the brushed stainless bezel wearing it every day- does anybody own one and have any input? |

Agreed. The Colt is a workhorse. It can take everyday wear and look great in a suit for dinner.

I have 3 Colts. An early Colt a17035 with a green dial, a black dial a17350, and a white dial Colt Ocean. I don't have the Colt 41 because it would be a little large for me. I'm sure it will serve you will.

Got one for my FIL, he loves it. The end links not quite matching the lugs bugs me but besides that it is a great piece and the AR coating is really well done.

Brushed steel is far more durable than polished steel. Easy to refinish too.
I would not worry about it at all, I take my Chronomat Blackbird A44360 (fully brushed including bracelet) shooting and when doing anything I would label as "rough". Is still very clean! |

Great looking watch! I’ve got my eye on the same one. For $2k you can’t lose.
But it’s a Breitling. You can’t ever sell it. |

Have the same bezel on my Steelfish, and it still looks new after 10+ years!

Brushed is much easy to touch up then polished I went for the cream dial
I'm not a fan of the bracelet much prefer a leather strap on it ![]() ![]()

Very sharp looking. I've been looking (online) at Colts. How does it wear? It seems to have a good profile and is relatively slim in comparison to other Breitlings.
