The Breitling Navitimer 125th Anniversary chronograph mens watch is available in six different versions. It may be ordered in a stainless steel or in 18kt rose gold, with dials available in black, bronze or silver. Case features a convex sapphire crystal with antireflective coating and the trademark slide-ruler on its rotating bezel. The watch is an automatic featuring Breitling’s B26 caliber, based of the ETA 2892-A2 and is C.OS.C. certified. The anniversary model lacks the small seconds sub-dial and has a date window at the 6 o’clock position.
Pros - This watch will get attention, the bracelet alone sets it apart, C.O.S.C. certified, limited edition, utilizing Breitling’s new movement.
Consideration - water resistance
Breitling Avenger SeaWolf Watch Review
The Breitling SuperOcean Heritage mens watch is the 21st century remodel of the iconic Heritage SuperOcean Chronometer. This watch is a must see in person, pictures do not do it justice. Breitling being no stranger to large watches offers this in a 46mm and a 38mm. The watch is very clean and crisp visually and comes in three different color options, black, blue, and bronze. The bronze version is surprisingly nice and would be great for an individual with a deep watch collection. Bronze would be a tough color to pull off daily, others watches would help with this. The big date window at the 6 o’clock position is a nice change of pace.
The SuperOcean Heritage utilizes the Breitling Caliber 17 automatic movement, based off of an ETA 2824-2. The watch is C.O.S.C. certified with a water resistance of 200m. The Heritage is offered on either the Ocean Racer rubber strap or mesh bracelet. Both are some of the best in the industry and the mesh is arguably the best available.
Pros - Crisp/Clean and Easy to read, C.O.S.C. certified, great strap/bracelet options.
Consideration - For a dive watch the lume is lacking, specifically no lume dot at the 12 o’clock position on the bezel.

The most difficult decision about this watch is deciding on a dial color, black, blue, yellow, or gray.

The new Breitling SuperOcean II for 2010 (ref. A17364)has a new look and what a great new look it is. The dial has been cleaned up and much less busy than previous versions.

Unlike previous versions the numerals and indices are applied, huge improvement and much needed. Notice the tip of the seconds hand match the color of the outer flange. The new SuperOcean has a new bezel, black with stainless steel slanted numerals. Adding further to the functionality of the SuperOcean is a helium escape valve at the 10 o’clock position, water resistant to 1500m (5000ft). The sapphire crystal is double sided with AR coating, optimizing a crisp view of the dial.
This Breitling is powered by Breitling’s Calibre 17 and is C.O.S.C. certified. Adding even more difficulty between what dial to choose is the choice of a Pro Diver strap, Ocean Racer strap, or the Professional II stainless steel bracelet.
