[Breitling] Which one and why? (alien.top)

I should mention I’m planning to get a Zealande black rubber strap to wear this as a GADA watch, no matter which piece I get.

Chronomat pros

  • rouleaux bracelet
  • GMT feature
  • “matted” look with more brushed elements

SOH pros

  • better power reserve
  • slightly cheaper
  • better “color” (not a steel bezel on steel case)

GMT all the way. That sculpted bezel just does it for me over the overly broad ceramic. Also the bracelet is a perfect match.

Both awesome watches so a question like this will always come down to personal preference. Mine would be the Heritage, but I would be absolutely over the moon with the Chronomat.

Chronomat because:

  1. Own design language;
  2. Interesting bracelet, properly integrated with the case;
  3. GMT complication;
  4. A bit smaller (perfect for my 17cm wrist).

based on the pictures. GMT.

Chronomat for the bullet bracelet

Superocean heritage for me. That mesh bracelet is classy, the dial color choices are sublime (the green is very pretty), and I don’t have a use for the gmt other than to say I have one. Plus I don’t really care for the giant 15,30,45 markers on the gmt bezel.

My pick would be the superocean because I find the chronomat ugly as sin, but everybody has different tastes.

Superocean for me… the bezel on that GMT has far too much “texture”

Chronomat, more unique and better looking/wearing.
