The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Finally had a chance to take a few photos today, and thought I'd share them here...

It looks nice! Which size did you get?

Looks great. I'd love a brushed version of that watch.

Are the rubber inserts recessed into the bezel?

I really love this watch, the dial is great and i love the bezel. Very nice!

Thanks, guys. I have been wearing this watch for the last three days and absolutely love it!

Jay89 -- mfserge is correct, it is the 44mm model.

RXPete -- the rubber inserts are nearly flush with the top surface of the bezel. They are recessed just a hair. As a whole, the bezel has a very clean and appealing look to it. I agree -- a satin case/bracelet on this watch would also look great. As it is, the satin finish on the bezel contrasts nicely with the polished case.

One more comment -- while I do have a Navitimer bracelet, this is my first Pilot bracelet. Wow! What a great look and feel. Love it with this watch!

Winner for sure! Just wish it was a little bigger, but at some point I might consider moving my silver Seawolf to get one. I've always liked the Daytona, but more than I'd spend, and also probably too small, so I see this as a great alternative. I'm big enough to probably pull off the big watches for as long as I want, but as I get older I certainly wouldn't mind something like this.

congrats, Jim ! beauty !

Thank you, Fred!

Thanks to you, too, Time Bandit!

Thought I'd go ahead and add this shot to the thread. I was trying out straps this morning to see what leather strap might look best with the Airborne. I tried out some of the Breitling options (including gold croc and black croc), but they didn't seem to work as well as I had hoped. Then I went in a totally different direction and imported the original strap from my Glycine Airman. Man -- I love this combo! The British tan of the strap really sets off the dial nicely, I think, and the stitching helps out with the vintage vibe. Plus, the weight and thickness of this strap works really well with the Airborne. Any comments, positive or negative, welcome -- I'd be curious to hear any reactions to this look.

I think that strap works well. Great looking piece.

Pretty caseback as well
