The Breitling Watch Blog

Omega Speedmaster Schumacher Legend series watch, my first Omega Automatic Chronograph, and I’m quite impressed with it. Nice Column wheel chronograph movement based on the 33xx series of watch movements. Enjoy!

I’ve always wanted an Omega Seamaster… to be honest, I’ve always wanted the 3, 6, 9 subdial layout model, but that models also uses the 33xx series of movement from Omega, which I have heard has a lot of problems, which is unfortunate. So I have ended up with the Bond Seamaster, which uses a Valjoux 7750 movement, immediately identifiable by its subdial layout.

This is a sweet watch, and I am really enjoying it. Interestingly so, it seems more busy to me than a Breitling does. Possibly because of the colors and the bracelet and the bezel. I really do like the divots in the bezel… they look really cool. Also its a very robust feeling watch, that doesn’t make me worry about scratching it so much as a Ling (not that I really worry too much about that anymore either).

I’ve always loved the machined clasps that Omega uses on their watches. They are a bit hard to open sometimes and I have almost pinched myself pushing on the releases, but it looks very nice. No stamped steel here!

As you can see, the 42mm diameter watch looks very appropriate on my smalle 6 3/4″ wrists. I think this one might be a keeper afterall!

This is a video review of the Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant Legende. Hefty 47mm Bronze dial, integrated bracelet… beautiful watch! Everyone that has seen this watch (especially the ladies) has been impressed. Even people who have typically been uninterested in Navitimers have taken a liking to the Bronze especially.

Have a look!

I have just posted a new video review of the Schaumburg Lindburgh & Benson Aquamatic COSC Certified watch. Really nice watch, with fantastic wrist presence.

The L&B Schaumburg Aquamatic watch really stands out from the wrist and has a neat military look to it. Goes super deep and has a helium valve like any good diver watch.

Check it out:

Here are the photos, and some insight in addition to the video review that was posted earlier.

The Breitling for Bentley Motors is my favourite watch, and probably draws the most looks and remarks… some for its sheer size, and some for it’s beauty.

With the distinctive Knurled Bezel that is a Bentley trademark, the watch does not go unnoticed, and the wide, shallow dial gives extremely easy reading with a bold statement in style. Applied stainless steel indexes and a gloss white dial, guilloche subdials all add to the elegance of the watch.

The beautiful large applied wings logo looks fantastic in the 12 o’clock position, and inside beats a 30 second chronograph which is more accurate than your standard chronos. Subseconds are located at 3 o’clock. Slide rule bezel with inner gear system that allows the watch to be more water resistant white still using the inner bezel and without the inconvenience of using a crown to turn the inner bezel like the IWC Aquatimer and Sinn 903.

The back of the watch is simple, with the model and some text engraved. Serial number and model numbers as well. The Breitling Bentley 6.75 has a much nicer caseback, and I wish this one did too.. but oh well!

But as you can see from the shot above, its all about wrist presence and class… and the Breitling for Bentley Motors has them both! This watch looks incredible on the wrist with it’s enourmous size yet maintains a level of class rarely associated with wrist clocks of this size such as the Breitling Super Avenger which tends to be less class, more bling/sporty.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and short review of the Breitling Bentley Motors watch!
