Aerospace

[learningtofly]

It's funny, but the two watches that I keep hearing WIS's saying have to be tried in order to be a fully-fledged member of this sometimes ridiculous club are both quartz; the Tuna and the Aerospace. I owned the former for long enough to fall completely in love with it, and now - after a couple of years of resistance - I own the latter.

What a watch! By far the most comfortable thing I've ever had on my wrist, and a watch that's just... I don't know, fit for purpose.

In my notional "reduced to three" collection, this would be firmly in it.

They looks great, the satin finishes are great, love em

With you 100% this is my daily. It takes any and all abuse! Water, dirt, etc.

No asking: Can I this or that with it.

As for the Tuna, I have to agree, but it would have to be mechanic. I do not like the way second hands tic/move on quartz watches.

Congrats, looks and sounds great based on your evaluation of them!

Breitling Aerospace, is a very good election.

Complete, thin, proffesional, with a lot of functions, a good collection must have one inside.

Congratulations very clever buy.

Excellent, and I'm actually wearing mine right now

I decided to go for a leather strap this time but i might try to get a titanium for it as well! It's a right pain taking it off every time i jump in the shower lol

As you can see T2 is set to GMT +1 as i'v just got back from Munich.

Just recently acquired one as well. Fantastic watch. Perfect for work. Light weight, not very noticeable. Fantastic features, in a beautiful design. Lastly, something about the titanium is just "cool."

Agree with all of that. In fact, I wear mine very regularly and often don't actually want to change it.

Your post brings up an interesting point. Although I tend to dislike quartz watches, the Aerospace is no problem due to the lack of a "ticking" seconds hand. I actually prefer the simplicity of the two hand dial.

Have to admit that my Aerospace has gotten much more wrist time then my Rolex recently. I am still in the honeymoon phase though.

Another watch I am interested in in this category is the x33. Fine example of one in the FS section now. Would love to see a comparison on the Aerospace and the x33.

Speaking of aerospace bands. Any good suggestions people have? Websites, etc.?

If you're not going to wear it on the bracelet, then the Diver Pro II Rubber is the one it needs...
