What Breitling

I am a new on the Breitling part of the forum. I would like to buy a Breitling watch. As to the mechanical chronograph I prefer something from Chtronomat series. If I want a quartz mvt is it wise to chose Aerospace? What is your point of view???

I'd only really look at the navitimer. In house is better, but the older ETA will be had for better money.

If you want the quartz, yep the aerospace or emergency(older one) are both pretty cool.

Totally agree! If you want to best that Breitling has to offer go with the in-house mechanical movement. The Super Quartz movement is also very good.

Though, it really comes down to what you want. Heritage, big and blingy, high-tech and packed full of features...etc.

Enjoy the hunt!

Navitimers with the in-house movement are pretty awesome. That being said, when I walked into a Breitling AD that had just about every Breitling ever to choose from...this is the one that sang to me, by far, above all the others. Good luck with your decision!

B01 would be my choice with black onyx dial and silver Roman numerals.
