In page 7 of the December 3 New York Times Magazine, there's an ad for Breitling. It features a cockpit model in gold with a white face and brown croc strap. I tried to find information about this watch since i received the magazine. I called Breitling, checked website, dealers etc. Can anybody provide any information on this watch? Thanks

No. It was not a chronogragh. It was Not two toned.

It was all gold with a brown croc leather strap. I saw that watch you posted in GQ in the same style as the one i posted above though.

Heh, I'm sure Tourneau could get it for you then.

Yeah, the two tone isn't exactly the best piece Breitling has come out with haha

Being the new rolex isn't a bad thing... heh

Personally I really like my Breitling watches, but they don't work for everyone. If you don't have a particularly large wrist, the larger dial may look a bit... off.

Most of them actually don't work for me - at all. Especially the Breitling mentioned above. ugh

That's too bad.

I own the following names:

Breitling Bentley Navitimer (w/black face)
Rolex daytona (3 of them..2 w/diamond bezel)
Bvlgari Assioma Chronograph (w/dark blue face)
Chris Aire Aire Traveler Time piece (18k Red gold w/diamond bezel)
Omega chronograph

I disagree w/the Rolex and Breitling sentiment.
These watches are excellent. Some are ultra exclusive and in short supply.

I bought my Bvalgari Assioma in Hawaii. They only had 5 in the United States and overnighted mine from Newport Beach, CA.
