Ron, great pictures... And yes - Breitling dials are very busy (in a good way), compared to other brands. BUT - considering the amount of calculations the slide-rule can do, it's absolutely amazing it's as clean as it is - testiment to the great R&D of the Breitling folks!  And wow, I just don't get tired of seeing that slate Chronomat Evolution with the diamond bezel.. Fantastic!  |

The Navitimers are extremely busy. I'm sure all the numbers have a purpose, but not having to use anything that complicated-looking, I wouldn't own one. The Chorono Evo is just right (the one without the second watchy-thingy). |

For me, they are a tad too busy since I am not a techno geek or user. Having said that, I think the Breitling's are supurb and beautiful watches.

Stunning shots Ron, Thanks for sharing.  I used to think the dials were too busy until I actually got to see one in oerson and try it on. There is a lot going on but each complication on the dial is given it's own design element. I think it would be easy to read the time, date (day to day items) easily after getting used to it, and also read off elapsed times, speed, currency conversions, etc as and when were required. I'm definitely a fan and would love to add one to my collection. Especially that Cosmonaute or the Montbrillant Olympus. Rick. |

Great shots - wish I can take photos like that. I love Breitlings.
Each one is functional, and for common person like me, the Navitimers will be confusing but perfect for pilots.
The CA and SF XL-Plus are my favs.

Hey Rick, You're absolutely right. Just looking at the Navitimer, as well as many Breitlings, they look too busy. But put one on and it's as plain as can be.. Plain that you'll want one! |
