Meh.

I still like the blue Navitimer World as my favorite modern Breitling.

For some reason I picture that with the Breitling Ocean Racer strap and adjustable clasp. I think this combo suits the orange dial version perfectly.

Correct.
Actually, this could be the spaghetti approach. Throw it against the wall and see what sticks.

If you cant win by numbers, baffle them with options.

― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Although busy as hell, I think the 1959 Navitimer reissue is the best of the bunch.

That is nice. I've always liked the Navitimers.

Breitling was actually my first "real watch" brand, so I have somewhat of a soft spot for them. The first watch I ever even really noticed was my bosses Navitimer. I loved it. Until I realized how much they cost. I eventually talked myself into it, and followed that soon after with a Chronomat Evolution.

I think this model and the Tudor BB Bronze with the charcoal colored dial are the best two obtainable watches I've seen from Basel so far.
