Normally not a fan of the Breitling brand, but this superocean looks pretty equal to the pelagos that I'm more familiar with....any thoughts about advantages of one vs the other? Breitling is about 500$ less...

GsurgBM · 27 September 2015, 08:36 AM

Tudor pelagos

GsurgBM · 27 September 2015, 08:37 AM

Breitling superocean

stil · 27 September 2015, 08:51 AM

Um. Tudor. No question.

Rowlf · 27 September 2015, 08:56 AM

What about the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue?

It's as stylish (and functional) a blue watch as they come.

Give it a look!

Cheers,

Ben

Out of those two I'd pick Tudor. Saying that though the Breitling actually doesn't look too bad! Not as gawdy as their usual offerings.

Agree...in fact the black version is the Only Breitling I like.
I think I would go for it.

AK797 · 27 September 2015, 09:02 AM

Of those the Pelagos, altho I like the blue Steelfish.

zama · 27 September 2015, 09:30 AM

Given your current collection I would go with the Breitling not a brand I normally like given in my opinion fussy dials and generally over sized watches, but the one you have identified is nice and different to your current rolex/tudor line up.

Presa canary · 27 September 2015, 09:34 AM

Judging by the pics, the breitling

thomaspp · 27 September 2015, 09:35 AM

What size is the breitling? If it's 42 or under I say go for it. But if it's like 44-46 I would prefer the Tudor

Sublovin · 27 September 2015, 09:51 AM

I have always liked the look of those Breitling superocean heritage pieces. Tough call...

s14roller · 27 September 2015, 10:06 AM

I think the Pelagos is a great watch!

melrob1 · 27 September 2015, 10:27 AM

Just picked up my Pelagos. Really nice and changes with all light conditions.

Awesome watch! I tried one on today at my local AD. I really like the look of the bezel/dial and the lightness it's great. I'm seriously considering it, but my AD only offered me 5% off retail.

SemperFi · 27 September 2015, 10:30 AM

Both are great looking...tough choice.

Muzz · 27 September 2015, 10:31 AM

My first choice would be the Tudor.

J!m · 27 September 2015, 10:46 AM

I've had a soft spot for the heritage Breitling. And their blue dial is quite stunning in the "flesh".

I love the pelagos too but it is a bit thick...

Not as easy a choice for me as it is for others here.

travisb · 27 September 2015, 10:48 AM

Breitling for sure, for me.

Rickn · 27 September 2015, 10:52 AM

I'd go SOH. I think the tudor is an awesome, awesome watch-- but it just does not donit for me in person.
Honestly though, for the money I'd rather have the new blue dial rolex 39op

Prince Namor · 27 September 2015, 05:18 PM

Tudor for me too.

I had a blue SOH 46 and flipped it due to minimal usage. One of the few Breitlings I like aesthetically. Beautiful watch, especially on the mesh bracelet. A year later they released the 42mm version, which I considered as a more wearable proposition.

In the end it was the minimal lume on the dial that put me off, which I didn't think about in an AD until I'd worn it a few times at night. Something to consider if you like the charm of a well lumed dial like I do.

Rashid.bk · 27 September 2015, 05:22 PM

Tudor, easily.

Eric Chan · 27 September 2015, 05:25 PM

Tudor.

Norms · 27 September 2015, 07:53 PM

pelagos all the way. you get the titanium case construction. new in house tudor movement as compared to the breitling's ETA. plus that matte ceramic bezel and the dial works so perfectly

Are you implying that in house is better than ETA?

If so, how?

You know this is a watch forum, right, and not about separatists.

technologically wise, the new tudor movement is pretty awesome. the power reserve is longer, at 70 hours its almost double the ETA's. it also features a much more magnetic resistance silicon hairspring. the movement is also COSC tested.

don't get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with ETA. i have the original ETA pelagos myself. but strictly speaking which is better between the superocean heritage and the pelagos; the pelagos is much better and the movement is just one of the few reasons.
