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

903 fills the slot just fine for me, but I like those divers, too.

I like that they made them in 42, 44, 46 - something for everyone but Andrea ;)

Well, at least Breitling was detail oriented enough to match the date wheel color to the dial....

...oops - guess not.

I still fail to comprehend why companies like Breitling - with a deep back catalog of great watches - don't just take the easy road and reissue some of their best vintage pieces in modern-sized cases. They could mindlessly crank them out for years and they'd probably sell like hotcakes.

I'd buy any of these tomorrow if Breitling made them...

Maybe the 1959 Navitimer reissue is a sign of good things to come...

72 new watches seems to be the equivalent of saying “our current catalog of watches is shit, so here’s some new ones”

I didn’t realize changing to a different strap constitutes a new watch :stir:

I used to have Avistar that I stupidly sold back in 2000-2001, was a really nice Breitling.

the TI bandit was supposed to be an awesome remake of Chrono Avenger but they f-ed up the dial with invisible steel numerals.

They have 36mm too although the colors seem more feminine. I really like the white dial, blue letters 42mm. Wish I knew what the lug to lug was.

It’s hard to match 89 colors.

This is hot!

The 42mm are also nice... and this 36mm for the wife:

The problem with these are the red hands:
