The only specific build Top Time, worn by Sean Connery in the film Thunderball has been lost for 50+ years until someone saw it in yard sale and for it for only few hundred dollars and feels that it's weird Breitling, when they get that weird Breitling to someone who know watches, they make themselves some fortune to return the piece of world film history
He lost my respect. It was us navy project & it was lip who was first approached & Blancpain was second to begin with. There are enough proof & articles covering it. & It's not a Blancpain brand design to begin with. It's Lip who registered second to do so after the successful campaign & it was not public project at first. He simps for Rolex obviously media never talk about Rolex shady stuff because they need $$ . What a disgusting world we live in. Will he try to uncover to the general audience about 1 st waterproof, 1st automatic movement stealing story, 1st watch with date, everest story? No.
I’ve been wanting a Breitling for years and finally bought myself the Superocean Heritage II with the green dial in 42mm as a 50th bday present to myself. I’ve had it 5 days and hasn’t left my wrist! Couldn’t be happier as these watches look even better in person.
I really love the new Superocean. A lot of diversity in terms of colors and sizes. A 39 mm superocean would be an absolute hit. I don't mind that they basically use ETA movements but i would love a better power reserve. Nonetheless breitling are doing amazing things in terms of design, original and full if character.
What happened to the Breitling Avenger GMT that was located on the top left of the watch box? Should it not have been there? I have this particular watch in my own collection and enjoy wearing it. Quite a nice watch.
Let me start with this, Breitling its an undervalued brand!! Breitling makes high end watches at affordable prices!!! I have 4 of them, all in bracelets. I also have 8 additional authentic straps. The first watch I bought is the Colt 41mm in cream dial, oh la la!!! Is a very beautiful watch that goes with everything except a tuxedo. You can dress it up or down since its thickness (12.2mm), size and dial color, it is super versatile. The second one I bought is the Avenger in blue dial, this watch is bigger than the Colt by 2mm but I can also dress it up or down. It has a very strong presence on the wrist due to its 43mm size, nevertheless is a very thin watch measuring 12.2mm and will easily fit under and shirt cuff, you can wear it up to business attire. The third one I both was the Evo Aerospace on a blue dial in titanium, measuring 43mm. That is one of my traveler’s watches. This watch can do it all, it has about 7 complications. Is it an expensive luxury quartz watch?, yes. Is it worth it?, every penny. I was criticized when I bought it, but once you wear it you feel quality. It is the perfect pilot’s watch, it has a thermo compensated battery quartz watch that makes it super accurate, its only +15 seconds a YEAR, with a 3 to 4 year battery life, it is also a very thin at only 10.8mm. The fourth and last one was the Superocean Heritage II in 42mm, green dial with black bezel, on a B20 movement. My brother, is an astonishing watch!!! I can’t get enough compliments!!! Indeed is very elegant and eye catching, but I dress it up only to causal elegant since its thickness is 14.3mm and it doesn’t clear to comfortably under a shirt cuff. The first 3 mentioned watches have ETA movements, nevertheless they are all COSC Certified. Breitling has an agreement with Tudor with movements they share, the B01 and the B20 movements. B01 being a Chronograph and B20 being a movement with only the date complication. The only difference between them is the balance spring. Tudor went one step above and installed a silicone one making the watch A-Magnetic. As I mentioned, this is an underrated luxury watch brand. This is an outstanding video. Keep it up!!!
Super ocean 🌊 is sweet , but you do point out a concern - brietling have dropped off the radar in last five years or so , I have not say any adversed or reviewed - or anyone making a homage ? I really like their stylish,high-end luxury , always reminds me of Bentley The "top time "became hugely popular when it is worn by James Bond in the movie Thunderball in 1965. Sean Connery is the most famous secret agent and is given a Top Time specially customized for his mission by Q - it even features an integrated Geiger counter. It’s certainly a very stylish instrument! Eventually, the exact watch worn in the James Bond movie was bought at a car boot sale for GBP 25 and sold at auction in 2013 for almost GBP 104,000, making it one of the most expensive vintage Breitling watches ever sold.
I believe that if Breitling watches were all 1-2k less, they would be perfect. I think they are slightly overpriced which reduces the potential buyers.
I collect Breitlings.....my most recent buy was the Navi 46 with dark green face in a rose gold case, an utterly spectacular watch. For me they have more personality than Rolex, more playful and adventurous while being less pretentious. The Premier and Datora and sleek and classy. Its a brand with an amazing back catalogue and is one of the most exciting brands out there,
7:32 there is an error on this video, I don't think Breitling makes a 'light blue' in 42mm. I think the reference is the 44mm tiffany colored superocean you are reference. But please prove me wrong as I desire that watch in 42... yep checking the video you misspoke, the light blue is in fact the 44mm, and not available in a 42mm...
I love Breatling, especially Navitimers and Heritage but I really hate the new version of the superocean, too much going on! too much color, and those ugly square hands I can't.
This is the latest generation of the Rouleaux bracelet. I, not sure when it started (maybe 80s). Jerry Seinfeld wore one in his comedy series. It was also referred to as the bullet bracelet as the links were a little smaller and resembled bullets.
Thank you Harrison 😊I’m so happy someone is finally talking about BREITLING. I ICONIC BRAND THAT DOES NOT GET THEIR DUE! I like the new SUPEROCEAN ALSO. This is something different. Love it😊
I still have a load to learn about this incredible brand. Do you guys have any cool facts you could share?!

Datora 42 missing it’s the best of all imo
I am loving this, while I wear my SOH II in green 🤣
Nice to see the brand getting some love. Although not having the Pistachio B09 on here is criminal.
You missed the best watch they make…The Premier.
I think this is his dream collection, not yours
Pistachio Premiere not being on this “dream” list makes this list sus.
Seinfeld wore a Breitling Chronomat, so it must be good!
In light of recent perezcope articles we might reconsider the blancpain as post-submariner with a relative degree of certainty

the Chronomat is phenomenal in every colour, but green possibly edges it. This must be the best green dial ever to be created?
Breitling has such a good offering. Love the brand and thank you for highlighting some of the standouts.
They are incredible!! I definitely need to research them more. Thanks mate.

That is not correct. Breitling actually builts their own kalibers and sells them to other brands. They have a collaboration with Tudor actually.

Breitling has superb quality and superb marketing & new products

BREITLING IS BETTER THEN TUDOR 😂
Rolex released the first Dive Watch ; )
If you can find, I suggest you to add ColtCoean to the collection, the other one I love is the 24-hour Cosmonaute
Super ocean 🌊 is sweet , but you do point out a concern - brietling have dropped off the radar in last five years or so , I have not say any adversed or reviewed - or anyone making a homage ?
I really like their stylish,high-end luxury , always reminds me of Bentley

The chronomat GMT (in green) is way up high on my list! That bullet style bracelet is by some margin the best i've ever tried!
Pretty dam good watches. Nice one. Keep up the good work H.
Bullet bracelet 😊
Someone said one day on RUclips that the breitling logo is like a penis… and now is always this thing when I see a breitling watch 😊
Great selection…
Love the video Harrison (as always)… will there be a giveaway for 40k do you suppose..? 😮😅
I missed the Avenger
Avenger ???
I’ve been saving for the Chronomat GMT 40 blue dial!
I believe that if Breitling watches were all 1-2k less, they would be perfect. I think they are slightly overpriced which reduces the potential buyers.
Thank you for this review. Something besides TUDOR 😂😂😂😂
I’m a Tudor owner but agree with you it’s nice to see something different. It broadens your knowledge.
Crazy good picks, I’ve watch a 9 minute video in 7 minutes, trust me 😉 (just like watching a Netflix 24min ep in 10-15 min)
Hahahaha glad you enjoyed
One would be nice 😢
I collect Breitlings.....my most recent buy was the Navi 46 with dark green face in a rose gold case, an utterly spectacular watch. For me they have more personality than Rolex, more playful and adventurous while being less pretentious. The Premier and Datora and sleek and classy. Its a brand with an amazing back catalogue and is one of the most exciting brands out there,
My picks would be:
Pistachio manual wind Premier
46mm Blue Superocean on Rubber Deployant
Avenger GMT
Endurance Pro in Baby Blue
7:32 there is an error on this video, I don't think Breitling makes a 'light blue' in 42mm. I think the reference is the 44mm tiffany colored superocean you are reference. But please prove me wrong as I desire that watch in 42...

Wicked collection, Breitling is my favourite!
A Breitling collection is not complete without a Premier B09
Aerospace (or aerospace orbiter) should be also in that box
That’s a Rouleaux bracelet, pretty famous in the Breitling world.
I need to look into this more!! Why’s it famous? So interesting
This is the latest generation of the Rouleaux bracelet. I, not sure when it started (maybe 80s). Jerry Seinfeld wore one in his comedy series. It was also referred to as the bullet bracelet as the links were a little smaller and resembled bullets.
What is yor wrist size?
Great content, have you seen the rare Breitling Royalty Protection Queens Jubilee watch. Only 70 produced. One sold this year at Sotherbys .
Thank you Harrison 😊I’m so happy someone is finally talking about BREITLING. I ICONIC BRAND THAT DOES NOT GET THEIR DUE! I like the new SUPEROCEAN ALSO. This is something different. Love it😊
Thank for quick review. Very nice watches. But am I wrong or panda Navi has a problem with the date change?
I like the Top Time but not a bike/car guy. Looking at the Avi Clasic, great lume 10 Bar.
