Incoming, and it's a LE!

[KBM]

It took me a long time to track this one. It's a limited edition from 2010, which is seldom seen even in the used market (which I've been scanning for the last 6 months for it).

After almost closing a deal on a used piece, the seller decided to go another route, and it slipped away. After that, a dealer which I had contacted said he could see with BUSA if there were any left in stock. "Long shot", I thought, but why not.

You can imagine my surprise when he got back to me and said that there was exactly 1 piece left in stock with Breitling and asked if I wanted it. Hell, yes! I wanted it!

Long story short, I got my hands on a watch that is truly special. Although Breitling has a name for big watches, this one feels great with 43mm and 14mm height. The in-house B01 with saphire back and 100m wr are the icing on the cake. In a time when I'm seeing a lot of love for vintage chronos, this seems to be a great way to enjoy that look with the perks of a modern piece.

Enough said. Here are some shots of the newcomer:














Still too soon to make a propoer review, but I can say it feels good to have a Breitling back in the collection.
