I tried on the Breguet XXII on a bracelet.  Nice, but very heavy.


You may want to explore AP RO Chrono (not the Offshore variety) or GO Senator Sixties (Round or Square version).  The Omega Planet Ocean chrono is nice, but it too may be on the large side.

Good luck.

Blancpain FF Chrono vs Breguet XXII

 
 By: Lange1 : October 20th, 2013-12:25
I'm looking to pick up my addition chrono for my daily wear and I've pointed out two interesting chronos Blancpain FF chrono and Breguet XXII. Which one would you pick? Why? I like both but only go for one. Will the thickness of XXII (17mm) be a problem f...  

They are both a brick

The Breguet has an interesting caliber at hi frequency but it's too thick. The FF does not need the chrono function. My suggestion is to take a look of something thinner

How about the Type XXI in Titanium

It's a little smaller and the weight of the Titanium makes it a wonderful daily wear watch.

Favorite is FF because i really love this brand cause i know that they look after the traditional horology and if you love big watches like me 45 would be far as i know breguet is 41. Have a choice that you won't regret. Best, Bülent.

Thanks all. I used to have the new co-axial Omega OP 45.5mm and sold it because it's too thick. I also have AP RO Chrono and GO. I just checked out again the AD today about BL FF limited No Radiation and Aqua Lung and FF Chrono blue dial +Breguet xxi tita...

A real in house movement, thin case and soft pushing bottons. This is an excellent chrono which worth the price. You already know that you won't be able to wear the XXII for a long time even of you are interested by the 10 hz movement.

Since you're not interested in movements that aren't really special then maybe the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980 would be to your liking?

Nice watches

I Think Blancpain watch ambiguous, and many black color , The Breguet exciting to consider because of the color red and black in the Dial, as well as prominent thread in the strap Thank you WTA
