Breitling Duograph

Hi all,

Any owners of the Breitling Duograph here? When I was posting my GP rattrapante Foudroyante SF on the GP forum last night, it got me thinking about split seconds chronograph. We all know the big hitters- ALS, Patek and the new limited edition of the Czapek. They feature the complication as well as fine finishing. But what about the affordable rattrapante?

My GP is no longer in production and offers the foudroyante too. IWC have a line of them in the past and still have current models with the split seconds movement. Then there is the newish Breitling Duograph. The dial is very nice. But Very thick case and movement finishing is as expected at the price point. But available in stainless steel too! Any thoughts on this model?

Some stock photos for attention!

I think it's great in the price point

Breitling's finish is generally underrated in my opinion, and 15mm thick isn't too bad for a watch with an extra hand in the stack. Patek it isn't, but we're talking about true fractions of cost. At 10k new (less with a discount), I think it presents grea...

I suppose I should mention

That I do not own one! But I have handled them at the boutique

I came very close to buying that blue one

I passed for reasons unrelated to the watch; I think it looks great.

I think it looks great (especially in those photos), and a great price point

But then only realised the advert was taken with a giant as a model, as I was very disappointed to find out it's a 42mm watch...

Less expensive and similarly sized. Steel only.

Thanks all

Glad to hear fellow purist like the piece. I am not in the market for one but just wanted to have a discussion as the thought came into my head! BW, Chi Kai

I would like to see it first. Always happy to see an a new Rattrapante. But I have to see it in the metal, to better judge it.

For me - from the photos -

these Breitlings look really great. Especially the RG version with black dial. I start getting interested in Breitling more and more. Never owned one but they try hard to improve their portfolio. So this brand gets increasingly attractive for me. Yes, the...

I really like this

I am really impressed with how Brietling had transformed over the last 5 years, and particularly love their current chronograph range. The Duograph's complication, movement, and style is definitely very good value for money. Regarding their salmon dialled...
