Even though...
...I don't generally care for world timers, I do think the white dial Unitime chrono is quite attractive. The mesh bracelet is the way to go with that one -- I've liked that bracelet since seeing it on the Superocean Heritage. Pretty sweet! Well, good for Breitling for investing in their future. Their designs have not always been my cup of tea, but I'm certainly paying more attention now!
Great report!

Baselword 2012 - Official PuristSPro Report: Breitling
Dear All; Breitling was (almost) always a company with a very clear identity: high-performing technical watches with an aviation image (“Instruments for Professionals”). Breitling played that field very well. The watches had a broad clientele, but were no...
Thank you both for the great report as usual...
But I still have the same problem with Breitling: why these huge diameters? For example, the Transocean 3 hands watch is very well made and I deeply regret its size. I think the same with this 2012 collection. Fx
I like the Cosmonaute
I do agree the dial is too busy though. Thanks for the report. This makes me want to dig out my 60s Navitimer to wear! - SJX
Thank you for a terrific report
Although I have never been a breitling guy, the Transocean collection strikes a chord with me. I love the reliability and toughness of Rolex so why not a Breitling calibre 01? Generally, I've found their dials overloaded and not my cup of tea, but the Tra...

Thanks for the very interesting reading, Oliver and Magnus.
This is a brilliant team work, my friends. Aaah the Unitime. A magic name for a magic watch from the past. I regret its size and its date, but I applaud Breitling to have made it! Best, Nicolas
i've always liked Breitling so great report guys
the new in house calibre sounds good. always been a Navitimer/Cosmonaute fan, but not so much the chronomat and that hasnt changed with the new models. do i take it that the new id is a joint id for the pair of you ? best Graham
No, that's my own...
in honour of my email address. Also, some recent incidents necessitated this step. Cheers, Magnus
unitime
i'm not generally a breitling fan, although the br01 movement is quite pretty and i think the chronomat has been a winner. but that unitime is just gorgeous. can't wait to see it in person. i love the representation of the globe in the center: it has a sl...
i prefer the original Unitime...
i prefer the original Unitime from the 60s Chris. they made some brilliant watches in that era despite using pretty standard chronograph movements. G
may i commit a heresy?
i guess the current one reminds me a little of the approach that vc takes to its world time watch. i like the vc too.... chris

Is this one: http://www.breitling.com/en/models/transocean/transocean-chronograph-qp/presentation/index.php I saw a stainless steel version in the flesh earlier this week in a store in London and fell in love. I really like how Breitling execute their 146...
