Congratulations, one serious looking diver. And I wouldn't put down their movements ......

I got my  2001 Chronoavenger partly because of a great review in WatchTime magazine. One thing they mentioned was it was the best regulated movement they tested. One day at a dealer they had a Zenith rep doing free timing checks. It was less than 1 second off in 5 positions. Now at the time Breitling used a company "Chronometric"? to go over their movements. Not long after they bought that company. Here's my ETA 7750.

Some pictures of the Breitling Superocean.

Breitling has changed significantly under the new leadership of Georges Kern. Gone are the days of the macho-type,hugely oversized and bling-bling watches while existing model lines,like the Superocean,have been cleaned up. The Superocean is a no-nonsense...  

yup it’s an awesome watch

I owned the alternatives and at a fraction of the price these new super oceans are great!

The Breitling is somewhat more expensive than the Tudor BB.

But the Tudor BB with a WR rating of 200m is not really a good comparison with the 1000m WR rated Superocean. I was thinking more on the Tudor Pelagos (500 m WR) and the Omega Planet Ocean (600m WR) which are both more expensive than the Breitling. Your V... 

Very nice. I agree their prices are very tempting and the guilt

isn't as bad when I explain to my other half. I think I may go for the Navitimer 1 black dial outer white with rose gold indexes next time. But I have to wait as I'm not sure if I'll go for the 38 or 41mm. Have to wait for the AD to open again or if I may...  

The Breitling Premier is a great watch.

IMO one of the best modern chronographs. I have the Bentley version (obviously I like green dials…). ...  

Any similarities?

Classic dive look...but still very Breitling to me!

I still favor the PO 42MM from Omega for current divers but with 8500 movement and matte black bezel... I am of course bias because that is my favorite watch in my small collection! -D-

My first nice watch was a superocean chrono circa early 2000's on the fighter bracelet.. [nt]

later also had leather strap with deployment clasp.. wore it for about 13 years straight.. and 10 before servicing.. Superoceans are definitely tanks!! I miss her.. wish i didnt trade her in! ...
