What was it about Breitling that first got you interested?
For me, the ties & association with aviation was the primary reason I looked into Breitling. And the more I learned about the company & historical milestones realized it was a watch you could wear & be proud of the history embedded in each Breitling model...
Now I see them for the technical advances, aesthetic appeal & still the history & pride that goes with every Breitling...

I agree with what you say Scott.
I would also like to add that they command respect both with non-WIS and people like ourselves.
I was also impressed with the fact that they send all of their movements (including quartz) to the COSC. No other manufacture does this.
Finally, I think they are something that you can be truly proud of and rely on.
Rick.

Hey Rick, Excellent points. The ONLY watch manufacture to achieve 100% COSC and the ONLY one to receive COSC on their quartz watches... Now that's something to brag about!  |

To me, what turns me on to Breitling is their unique designs, either in their Navitimer line or the Aeromarine/Professional/Windrider lines. The complicated dials and the generous highly polished (call it blingy) surfaces all contribute to the uncompromising "Breitling" look.
I am not a pilot or into aviation so that aspect of it is not significant to me, but I think it adds to the "precision instruments" message they are trying to sell and convey.
