I am a huge Rolex fan/owner but my chronograph in my multi brands collection is a Breitling LE Blackbird. I prefer it’s size over the Daytona which I owned briefly in the 90’s. I love the history of Breitling being the father of the chronograph puts them solidly in a “have to own” category for a watch collector.
The pilot bracelet is extremely comfortable and a Breitling icon but it also looks great on the oem rubber dive strap, Not many watches look equally as good on bracelet and strap.
