Breitling B1

Hello!!

Here is my new watch, Breitling B1. I had one B1 silver dial SQ time ago... was the only watch I missed. Finally I bought one.

Is the A68362. No SuperQuartz but have the COSC certificate. I really like that is one of the few blue dial out there with the logo in the crown.

I was thinking if the Aerospace will be better option (100 meters vs. 50 meters) but I prefer the look, weight, alarm, functions and the bezels in the B1.

There is three different dials for the Breitling B1.

BREITLING 1884 (1998 )

BREITLING B-1 (1999–2002)

BREITLING CHRONOMÈTRE B-1 (2003–2006)


I prefer the one I have now, just B1. More balanced and clean I think.

Best regards

I had one time ago, but sold it I was always thinking to buy again one B1, and finally I did it.

This blue will be with me for a long time

I enjoyed my B1 until it began to malfunction after three years of ownership. I then did an expensive service on it. It broke down a yr later.i love the look of Britain but my Super avengerhas also been problematic. Wish u good luck. It is a beautiful watch in appearance

I mean that I love the style of Breitling, but not the unreliability

This is my second B1 and so far, no problem with them.

I haven't heard many complaints about malfunction in the B1, maybe you had bad luck.

Cheers

Yes, I may have had bad luck but the Super avenger also has had problems so I now wonder about this brand. Still, I received more compliments about my B one than any of my Rolexes. The styling is stunning and price was reasonable.
