Best Breitling for a 6" wrist?

Not sure which would suit me, super avenger seems a bit too big, any ideas?

If you don't want something huge, a Colt, or a SuperOcean Heritage 38 would both be good choices. I also believe the Chronomat is 39-40mm. A good thing to do would be to go to an AD that will let you try on a bunch of models and see which one suits you best, you'd be surprised as to which ones you like and don't like.

Chronomat is 43.7mm . Galactic is 41mm , not as nice as the Cockpit it replaces but should fit your wrist perfectly .

I think the best recomendation would be to go to your nearest AD and try a few on. The actuall size can be a bit decieving in regards to what willactually wear well on your wrist.

Galactic, Galactic Chrono, SuperOcean and entire Colt line should fit you just fine!
And I would go for SuperOcean Chrono, one of the best Breitlings ever IMHO, with very useful Day-Date version of Valjoux 7750 inside!

Navitimer at 41.8mm sits pretty well on my 6" wrist. But definitely try on a few, you would be pleasantly surprised.

Breitlings would be too big of a 6" wrist, in my opinion. Go for a Rolex, 36mm or 39mm.

How about a Navi Montbrillant? The SO Heritage 38 is also an excellent suggestion.

Older Chronomats from the 80's-90's are 38mm............the Superocean Heritage 38 could just be your answer!!

I have a super avenger and only have 6.5 inch wrists! Def. Try a few on but don't let the size be a factor!
