Incoming Superocean Heritage 42 - first Breitling

Been thinking about this one for awhile now. Finally pulled the trigger and very happy I did. I love the blue/rose gold combo. Much different, darker blue than my TT Rolex, and provides a nice contrast. Now have a Rolex, Tudor, Omega, and Breitling in my collection, so spreading the love around.

Congrats! Got my first Breitling a couple of months ago. Like you, I don’t own more than one watch in any given brand at the moment, still exploring what’s out there.

Stumbled across a good deal on a omega planet ocean last weekend unexpectedly so it kicked my superocean off of my wrist for a little while anyway.

I love my planet ocean too This Breitling might be on my wrist for awhile though before I get back to my regular rotation!

Congrats! The shade of blue in the bezel is perfect in my opinion and I love how blue changes in the sunlight on my Heritage Chrono. You should look at adding the blue rubber mesh strap as well. Just buy it with the tang buckle, there’s no need for the deployant with that strap since it’s already so comfortable.

Thanks for the recommendation. I likely will add it!

That is awesome! Rose gold is striking and elegant. I have a Breitling avenger II and the blue shade is classy.

I have the same watch and agree with your observations. My only delta is the case thickness. 12mm would have been perfect.
