The Breitling Watch Blog

Forgot to post this when I uploaded it.. but Figured i’d give you all a heads up.

This is a video review of the Breitling Blackbird.. the newer one that is based on the same case as the Chronomat Evolution, with the faceted Pilot bracelet which is unique to the Blackbird. Very nice. This bad boy is 43.7mm in diameter, and worth every penny. Very beautiful and slightly more understated than the Chronomat Evo. It adds a big date complication and carries a slightly higher price tag than the Chronomat Evo. Dial is sort of a Matte finish, not commonly seen on any Breitling models.

Well, I finally got my Breitling Black video review up! This is a very nice watch, and while does not have the polish of the Chronomat Evo, still looks pretty darn amazing on the wrist! In fact, the faceted bracelet might make it look more impressive. I really do like this Blackbird.

Check out my latest video review on the Breitling Super Avenger behemoth watch… the big 48mm+ Watch live on video!

Some say it is tacky and overdone, but I like it. Its still a bit big for me to be wearing every day but I think its someting that can be pulled off. Definately has overtaken the Chronomat Evo as the most popular Breitling in my opinion. Even the AD’s I’ve visited have said that.

Breitling has released a new model: The SuperOcean Heritage Chrono. Based on the 46mm SuperOcean Heritage, this model contains a caliber 13 movement, based on the Valjoux 7750. Watch comes on the Ocean Racer strap or Ocean Classic bracelet.

Chronograph Movement, with Date, and available in the Black, Blue and Bronze.

The list of Celebrity Chefs that wear Breitling is quite long, and quite peculiar really. Breitling is first an aviation watch, not a chef watch. So why do so many Celeb Chef’s wear them? Possibly because they look so damn cool. 🙂 I suppose 5 chefs isn’t that many.. but there might be more. Aside from Rappers, I think celeb chef’s might be the highest per capita of Breitling wearers around!

The list now includes:
Ming Tsai – Ming is an American Chef with a show called Simply Ming
Ralph Pagano – Ralph Pagano is an up and coming chef that came runner up in the first Hell’s Kitchen Series
Antony Worrall-Thomson
Gordon Ramsay – Gordon is the head chef in the cooking reality show Hell’s Kitchen
James Martin – Yet Another Celeb Chef popular in the UK appearing on several BBC Cooking shows.

You might notice that on many of the sites you can see the chefs displaying their Breitling’s very prominently. In fact, Ming Tsai has a link and logo to Breitling’s own site. Perhaps he is a sponsored ambassador.

Wolfgang Puck wears a Panerai… but still shows he has a taste for unique watches.

I’m always looking to expanding that Breitling ambassador and celebrity list, so if you know of any that are missing, Let me know!
