My last name is Breitling, I've been wanting to get a ladies watch but don't know for sure which one to get. Any ideas?

Well welcome to your forum :wink:

If you are looking at one of the current production then you have three choices that are really designed for women - the Colt Oceane which is more of a sporty look, the Starliner which is the 'girly' look - hope that doesn't sound derogatory, I just mean it's the pretty one (OK I'll stop before the hole gets too deep) or the Cockpit Lady which is more of a dressy / elegant look.

All of those are battery powered SuperQuartz models, if you want an automatic then the SuperOcean Heritage 38 is small enough for a female wrist, as is the Montbrillant Datora - but that has more of a masculine look.

If you are looking at discontinued / older models, there are a whole bunch of others, but let's start with those!!

Welcome!

With a name like that you sure need one. :) The model all depends on how you're built and your life. Apart from the models mentioned, you can probably also wear a Colt with elegance.

The best way is to go to a well stocked AD and try a few on - both ladies and mens series!

Well, actually I liked the Starliner, but I think I will look at the Cockpit Lady. I've seen a few that I'm interested in already and my Dad thought it was more my style.

I really like the Cockpit Lady - my wife has one (black face on two tone bracelet).

There was a facelift this year that makes the square in the middle of the dial a little more rounded. Personally I prefer the previous style, but you will likely be able to find an AD who still has some of those in stock.

Youi can also get versions with either 8 or 11 diamonds on the dial (the difference being whether diamonds are at 3, 6 and 9).
