At 40mm and super flat I like this watch a lot. The bracelet is super comfortable and light. Lately I’ve been digging into the old safe.

This same Breitling is being made today bigger and heavier, and I don’t like bigger and heavier. ☺️ ...  

One of my very favorite watches, the Breitling Aerospace (smaller and lighter is better)

My first was like this - the hands had no overlap in the center. I left it on the top deck of a 747 as I stumbled off after a very long flight. My second was this beige color. It turned out to be hard to read the hands against the dial. So I bought a dial...  

One of my favorite quartz watches! Does a lot and all functions accessed by the one crown. Interesting how many versions with slight variations were made. Some busier, some simpler,

some with different font to the arabics. I had a tungsten Rado Diastar that had all the same functions but they were all operated with FOUR unmarked pushers! If you didn't have the book in your back pocket it was only good for reading the time! ...  

Your first blue one. Same dial as mine but with the simplest bezel and the no overlap of hands (that's something I hadn't noticed before!). Is that the one you re-dialed? Always thought

mine was an early version but that's just a guess. Is that blue dial with the squared off numbers (not slanted) the earliest version? Which of our two bezels with that dial is earlier?
