My new breitling

Took the plunge and got a Chronomat with a MOP. Love the bigger case and dial.

Nice Breitling I really like the pilot bracelet.

I gave my only Breitling, a SuperOcean Chronograph to my dad and he wears it everyday

My guess, pearls come from oysters. MOP comes from the inside of oysters which could be considered the mother of the pearl.

I must say among Breitlings Chronomat Evolution is one of the most substantial and great piece of jewelery. So enjoy your watch.

What are the specs on that beauty? I am looking at getting a Breitling chrono, perhaps a Blackbird, Chronomat Evolution or Cockpit Chrono. The first two appear to be big and thick, but after wearing a 44mm Panerai on my thin 6 3/4" wrists, I can probably pull a lot off. I don't like thick watches.

Absolutely stunning! The Breitling Windrider Chronomat Evolution line is the flagship of the commendable Breitling product line, AND, for me, a personal favorite. Also, as a fine watch product, I love how all Breitling watches are all COSC certified. This specific model has wonderful multiple "tool" features, as well. And, the Mother of Pearl dial face is just beautiful. Enjoy!
