Favorite Underrated Breitling Models?

Everyone talks about the Navitimer and Chronomat—but what’s a Breitling watch you think deserves way more love?

I liked the Super Ocean models from 25 years ago. To me Breitling has lost its way with that model.

The models I loved and never see posted these days are ones from back in the 90's/early 2000's, such as the Crosswind, the Crosswind Special, the second gen Blackbird, the "proper" Chrono-Matics with left hand crown and right hand pushers, and oddities like the Spatiographe.

Those pieces had real character

The Superocean 4 year calendar chronograph moonphase is a nice reference I feel and a great value used buy

Avengers are my favorite, but most people seem to care only about Navitimers.
