As a moderate Breitling enthusiast owning 3, you've filled in so many gaps and "how comes" that now make so much sense. Great Job!
Nicely done! Love the showcase nature of this new series 👍 thoroughly enjoyed the previous one as well (while wearing my Navitimer B01 haha) looking forward to the next episode!
Exceptional idea to run such series, thank you! Very much enjoyed all your videos, especially, because of your engineering angle, be it a race car allusions or a space rocket ones. Huge fan of your channel, as you are probably the only person, who makes the most informative videos on watches.
Such an amazing channel. Greatest quality and commentary 👌🏼👌🏼
Great video.
I look forward to the next instalment on this very interesting series.
I have a Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish, bought 16 years ago. The quality is amazing! It never let me down. Super reliable, robust, precise. Really love this brand.
What an amazing watch!!
I love your videos!! Great voice pitch and visual quality as always! I learn so much from your videos!
Request: -Can you make a video about watches from the brand Ebel? I love some of their watches like the 1911 BTR QP and the 1911 Tekton chrono. I havn't found a decent video about them although several major football clubs love their watches and I personally think they are beautiful! Cheers, keep up the good work!
Great video as always and the emergency is a cool watch but would have loved to have seen your take on the 81950 Chronomat that played a pivotal part in the mechanical watch renaissance and ultimately saved the company by bringing in rivers of cash.
As usual, great content!
It seems to me that the outsourced movement vs quartz, vs In-house automatic movements affects the customers' perception based on their philosophy on buying the time piece. Is it jewelry? is it art? is it a necessity? or is it all of them? the more in depth you know about watches, the less satisfied you tend to be with 'less complicated' production processes involved in the making of the watch.
That’s a great way to say it!
Great video, thanks for posting
Congrats on your great channel and thank you for a great video!! Muchas Gracias
Enjoyed the video keep them coming...
Thank you for all the info!
Really enjoyed that. Many thanks 👏👏
Great series on one of my favorite brands.
Great narration mate!,
Love Watchfinder. Top notch channel and content. 👍
I’m absolutely loving this series. I’m not even a big breitling fan but it’s just dead interesting. Can’t wait for the next instalment 👍
Awesome video, as always 😊
Really enjoying my Shelby Top Time. Great video.
Currently thinking about buying the Breitling superocean 42. Love your work btw
Great as always
I have owned a breitling Navitimer for 8 years, superb reliability. Just bought an Aviator 8 to go with it! Love the brand
Thank you very much. Most interesting.
Thankyou for making a Classic Channel in WATCHES
i freaking love this channel.
same
Kita ko nga panerai at sevenfriday mo
Ninong!
Woah! Ninong!!
It's unreal
Love the idea! Brilliant. There is a whole universe of facts and little known stories for watches that should enough to make content for a few....mm decades maybe.lol
Excellent video, watches, planes and even motorbikes got a mention 👍🏻👍🏻
Great info!
Breitling has always made a quality watch. I keep mine in my weekly rotation with Rolex, Breguet and Omega.
Great Video! I love my yellow Emergency Super Quartz...
Loving the history lessons
I truly enjoyed your presentation. Very educational. Thank you very-very much. My wife is lucky one. She has two Breitling watches. I don't have any - yet.
Surprised there was no mention of the Sinn purchase of the Navitimer design.
Those quartz Breitling aviation watches were so cool when I was growing up in the 80s. Huge ads in the Financial Times proclaimed this as the watch for the adventurer. That and the Tag Heuer S/el with those gorgeous links on the bracelet and the association with Ayrton Senna. Both the S/el with its iconic links & the Breitling Emergency were designed by the same guy, Eddie Schopfer.
A friend of mine got handed down an Aerospace Copilot and a Chronospace from his step dad, they sit in a safe all the time because he considers everything but an apple watch archaic… 😫
@@Convair_F-106 he may grow out of it. Don't get me wrong, the apple watch is a good product but it's a bit bland.
@@sdemosi I'd love to see him grow out of it and learn to appreciate a non smart watch for daily wear, but that will take some time, if it ever happens.
Good one, keep it going 😊
Breitling is such great quality. Tudor does not have this quality... lookit the Tudor Montecarlo with its different font sizes, dial/date color mismatch, date alignment like a DH gate watch. Breitling is a great house.
Wow are you sure about the Tudor quality issues? Different font sizes? 🤯🤯🤯 That would be such a shame!
Years ago, I was inspired by the Emergency model when I bough the much cheaper Tissot Titanium Ana/Digi 2-line display watch. It was very good looking but I was disappointed by the heavy crown action, after a couple of years it was impossible to use it.
Thanks for sharing! I already saw the first video! Hope to learn more about my favourite watch brand!
That conclusion really did enhance the video
Imma going to guess the 5th most popular watch brand coming up isn't Invicta
Well.. its not that swiss made brands (Swatch group) are inferior. Yesterday I bought a Tissot PRX 80 automatic. Bracelet cuts, no brushing on the eta caliber, dust or paint on hour marker, no way to regulate seconds and a long hair on the back of the glass.. when I look at my 89 euros 20433 invicta I was suprised that it had none of these issues.
Breitling is my favorite after Rolex. Hope to get a montbrilliant someday
It would be awesome if you could review the Breitling Aerospace. It's a watch that's been on my mind a lot lately and I know it has a ton of history around it. I'd love to know what you (and by extension the watch community) think about it.
Great video.
Thanks for sharing the facts
The 50th anniversary Navitimer 92 is my favourite model ever. Perfect size at 38mm
Possibly the best watch channel on CZcams!!!
Can you review the Corum Admiral Cup Legend 47? Wondering if it is a watch that will hold it's value, functionality, etc.
Great. Thanks
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🏴
I love the Breitlings now i have a cockpit b50 and super avenger 2. And the price in Brazil is good well underrated.
The camera operator is excellent.
My favorite watch brand! Loyal to it.
Nice video!
Fun Fact: During the quartz crisis, Breitling sold the rights to the Navitimer to Sinn.
Sinn still makes their own version.
They do and it's a very nice watch that looks, well, identical to a navitimer.
@@sdemosi But with 100m WR and an inner rotating E6B bezel. The Sinn 903 is, objectively speaking, the best Navitimer you can get lol
@@TechPanzer I don't disagree. I've owned a Sinn or 2 & I like their dials and casework. They're a quality brand with a loyal following. I'm a sucker for a moonphase so I got a 3006 hunting watch.
Thank you
No thank you for making these videos they sure have helped me escape the horrors and general crap of the late few years. Keep up the great work. Love ❤ this series on Breitling can't wait to see who you do next.
I really want a Breitling Emergency. So funking cool.
Why? What impressively dangerous adventures have you done recently?
@@HardcoreMotors in that case we shouldn’t even buy watches, just use our phones. The dude finds the watch cool and wants to buy it. Period.
@@HardcoreMotors If he planned those out, the watch wouldn't be needed for an....wait for it....emergency. Maybe, just maybe, he likes how it looks. I guess he should just stick to being a pro diver and wear a sub. Clown penis......
Just about every established watch brand has managed their way through remarkable citcumstances. Fantastic stories ahead!
Got to love a Breitling
What other famous watch brands dissapeard or had been transformed during the quartz crisis? You should really, really do a series of their history. Btw, congrats for your excelent content.
Video idea: The Rolex Sky-dweller vs the Omega world timer. There are no videos I could find comparing the 2.
The almost faultless cinematography of these videos is marred by the occasional view in which the reflection of a light obscures the upper half of the dial.
The preamble - which I usually go on about - is getting much better.
Thank you for these insightful and enjoyable videos.
I have an Old Man John "Brain Doctor's Watch" I use daily...or weekly or something like that...I really have no idea.
been wearing breitling since i got my pilots license back in 2009!
My guess is breitling, rolex, ap, hublot, jaeger lecoultre and panerai
The emergency is one of my dream watches. I’ll never be able to afford one sadly
Still the best watch videos on you tube
Can you please do voiceovers/narrations for everything? From Blue Planet/Planet Earth to Siri/Google Assistant to….???
With David Attenborough retired and Morgan Freeman slowing down… would be awesome to have you do more voiceovers/narrations 😊
the most gorgeous looking breitling is the one that that chef ramsay wear ..yellow panda chrono ..
Your voice is pleasing, I love your video for the sheer love for vocabulary.
Next will be either Longines or Tag Heuer. Thats my bet.
Just bought a navitimer and can’t believe they did away with the winged B branding. I love the watch but very disappointed they changed it in new models.
The winged b looks so cool as well
Im a Breitling employee and when the Navitimer was revamped in 2022 for the 70th anniversary they added the original logo which is AOPO winged logo
Well done u guys
hello watchfinder guy if i may suggest the next featured time-piece to be THE LANGE 1 TOURBILLON PERPETUAL CALENDAR...
I'm not 100% certain, but check the archives, I think he's done one.
Had no clue that Breitling had a lapse (1978) in production.
One of my fav pieces is the Super Ocean Heritage on mesh,
a nicer finished and looking piece than my Sub. Just run from
Quartz, unless it's $50 Dollar Casio Marlin Duro Diver (beater).
Obviously you're uneducated
@@throwingdartsandbreakinghearts Obviously, you're a tool.
Why would you run from quartz?
Can you do a best budget explorer’s watch list?
What do you mean by explorer's watch?
its the watch john travolta had in BROKEN ARROW
Facts. Just FACTS.
Stop going on my guy Old Man John. He’s trying his best to stay chuffed
The only problem with the Aerospace watches is that the digital display is barely readable. This issue should have been addressed years ago.....
interesting video
Great vid, thank you, Mr. Talking Hands (edited). Did not know about the plane malfunction. Interesting.
Don’t google Mr. Hands, you’ll be scarred for life.
@@randomdude6249LOL Good advice! I will stop calling him that from this point on.
My Favourite watchmaker. 😍😍😍
Love the Brand I have owed 5 and all work flawlessly!! Best bang for your buck in horology! 1884❤️
I love my Breitling
Did the breitling pilots get bremont watches for using ejector seats?
It drives me crazy, that the number "9" from the orange emergency is dirty
SuperQuartz? +/- 15s/year? And the minute hand ticks too!
Grand Seiko and especially Citizen are laughing.
Omega?
Was that a battery? Watch
Wore Breitling Chronomat for years - thought I would buy another but looking how much I would lose if I wanted out = I realised what a big dropper they are - just not good acumen - so, I bought a Tudor 41 Heritage arguably a better watch plus I can sell it tomorrow without losing half of its value there lies the Breitling problem
First Breitling I ever saw was on the wrist of a Colonel in Afghanistan and I wanted one immediately. I buy watches I like and don't care about resale or how much they go up or down so I will get one eventually.
I enjoy your channel, however, I must take exception to your title on this one: no-one tells me about any of the watches I purchase.
I am old and my name is John!!!
I like the way you put that, how do you know your watch was a Breitling? You bought it from one Mr. Breitling, two Streets past old John. Lol. It's a good point though, you bought a gold pocket watch, weather it came from Breitling, Messrs Patek and Philippe or even the Imperial Russian jewler H. Moser. It was the product, not so much who made it.
Watching this wearing my Superocean 42
i think you guys should start selling t shirt and merchandise to topup your expensive watch collection
