...interested in world timers, I have to say that there is something really desirable about the dial on the Unitime.  The map image has a sort of vintage charm that appeals to me for some reason. 

A very thoughtful review, Fr.Xavier!

Thanks!

The in-house Chronograph movement B01, unveiled in 2009, is a fundamental pillar in the Breitling strategy. Beyond the strengthening of the horological contents, this movement also answers to the industrial logic that must give to Breitling a greater inde...  

And to give you an idea...

Indeed, the black dial reduces the feeling of size which is a good point. Fx

Just added to my wish list...

Thank you for the review Fr.Xavier, ...or maybe not :) As you say, due to its size I definitely need to see it on my wrist before making any final judgement. But it is the best looking Breitling I have seen in a long time...

Thanks Sanro!

Sure you have to try it... let's have a dream, with a smaller case, I could take the plunge... Fx

A couple of thoughts...

(1) I would definitely include JLC in the "world time" lineup, as the Geographique has been a "Masterpiece" since it debuted in 1989, and the newest incarnation is clean and well-proportioned (not to mention the Geographic World, the Extreme World Chronog... 

Thanks Dean for your comments!

What about now a travel watch with Piaget using the Gouverneur case? Should be great! Fx

I think the ovoid case shape would work well.

Yes, Piaget Gouverneur worldtimer could be quite interesting! Cheers, Daos

that is the first modern Breitling ever to catch my eye

thanks for the great review. Pity about the size but I really like the layout. Best Andreas

Very nice watch but the size and/or the proportions ...

Are completely out of balance. The B01 caliber is a 30 mm, H 7.2 mm movement and when they put this movement inside a 46mm case it looks funny (small seconds and counters way too centralized). If Breitling even made one of those on a 42mm case and I will ...
