Review
amanico offers an initial impression of the Breitling Transocean Chronograph Unitime, prompting a lively discussion among collectors about its design and dimensions. This early review from 2012 provides a foundational perspective on a significant Breitling release, allowing readers to understand the immediate community reaction to its 46mm case and Caliber 05 movement. The thread captures the ongoing debate within the watch community regarding contemporary watch sizing.
46 mm case is way too much for my 3rd world wrist. Thanks Nicolas for the quick view. Cheers, Nilo
And like you, I fear 46 mm is a bit too much... Sadlly. Best! Nicolas
The watch, I repeat, is a beauty. I love GMT watches (not the Rolex ones, for another reason). I believe that there was an informal collection of wrist sizes here in the past. A 46mm watch, even when the person has a giant wrist, is out of proportions, IMHO. Cheers, Nilo
...on my 6.6" wrist. Never thought I'd wear a watch this big, but it wears close to the wrist. Don't know how the case depth might differ between these two, but additional complications generally add more thickness.
I was closely looking to the Breitling collection lately, especially the Transo, Navi and the SuperO Heritage. Then, when looking at the novelties, I thought I would put this one at the 1st place, even if the 46mm is too big for me. But surely the one I have the best feeling with (not a heavy dial design, with peaceful colors and a 50's charm I like very much). Best, Mark
If only it didn't have the date... Best, my friend. Nicolas
