Breitling Steals From Everyone...Except Rolex.

[@chrishennemeyer7276]

Breitling creative team: Hey, how about we make our new watch in a ton of sizes, except for those which actually appeal to most people (between 36 - 42mm)?

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

lmao exactly

[@sean1e100]

100% makes sense on paper… seriously tho, was trying them on in an AD over the weekend and they all wear 2mm smaller

[@bucknut2000]

Rule of thumb , breitling 44 is similar to other brands 42 , and 42 is like a 40 etc …

[@chrishennemeyer7276]

@@bucknut2000 I own a Superocean Heritage and it's true it wears a bit smaller than its actual size, but it depends totally on the design and I don't think that theory will hold for these new Superoceans.

[@technom3598]

Um but they do make them in exactly those sizes

[@Boros777]

How big should the minute hand lume be? Breitling: yes!

[@jimlittle5769]

The new Breitling Superocean movement is based off a Sellita (26 jewels). Its also COSC certified. I ordered the Kelly Slater LE version.

[@sean1e100]

In answer to 24:23 my guess would be… “better brand recognition, better finishing, better bezel in better materials, better looks, better bracelet, MUCH better on the fly adjust clasp” … I think that’s be their answer. Yet I agree that it’s a stretch to say that all those “betters” add up to fully justify a 3grand difference! Still want one tho… can you tell?! 😂

[@therinsig]

The answer is that for $1,500 you have a Zodiac, but for $4,500 you have a Breitling.

[@mad0uche]

Why do Jordan 5's go for $300-400 when you can buy nikes for $70-100? What do Jordan 5's offer that a regular nike shoe doesn't? Well probably they are two completely different products with different demand, different looks, different materials, different style. The price of an item is entirely decided by what someone is willing to pay for it, the entire fashion watch industry lives off of this concept. What does a breitling offer that a zodiac doesn't is a stupid question, people pay way more for quartz cartier watches - what does a quartz cartier watch offer that a breitling doesn't lmao.

[@michaelriera6277]

Agree! It’s a very nice watch.

[@ThatBoyMGee]

You could've said something about the history of the Breitling. It's a design from the past. Nothing stolen here.

[@fakethinksy101]

“Buck shot shoots a wide net to hopefully hit a bird easier”. 😂

[@pilotstyle123]

One difference between Zodiac and Breitling is quality control. New Zodiacs sadly have a long history of manufacturing errors whereas Breitling has an excellent reputation.

[@ToneyDouglas23]

Have to agree. I have 2 Breitlings. One was $2500 and the other was $8500. Both have impeccable finishing and both are robust.

[@idoc61]

I loved the historical "Famous People's Watches" segment. Those Lincoln inscriptions are "National Treasure" level mystery stuff! Looking forward to more of these.

[@jevain]

With the bezel and that chapter ring, the watch really wears much smaller in real life because the dial is that small. I tried the black 42mm one at the store and I loved it. The thin profile really helps as well.

[@MisterKnightly]

I love everything Breitling is doing these days.

[@hypeandstyle-watches]

Breitlings finish and especial dial hands and indices finish is REALLY good.. Much better than the mentionned brands. They usually also overhaul the ETA movements and buy top grade 2892s wich are really good and not at rough 2824... >>Breitling has always been worth the money in my op.

[@diavalus]

I have a Superocean heritage II and when I compare it with my Omega Goobemaster, the Breitling is looking better in reality, much better! Breitling looks strange on paper, but they have to be seen face to face.

[@thewatchmission7693]

I just bought a Super SeaWolf (Creamsicle) and man do I love it! What a great watch! I went with this color scheme because i bought as summer was coming and if felt like a summer watch. Man that sounded prissy. Oh well.

[@eazye619]

Actually going to get the Doxa chronograph in the thumbnail next week. I’m very excited!

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

They look a little to animated I have the Breitling Super ocean from a few years ago and don't see any reason to upgrade. Breitling changes the design of the Super ocean way to much they need to keep one design and stick with it so the style becomes well known not change it every few years. Personally if I were buying another diver I go with Doxa 300 for half the price .I do like the new Breitling is a no date like a true diver but that's really it

[@cjstump8732]

Buck shot is not for birds.. but love your videos!!

[@mamdore]

Lol came here to say this

[@martinwilliams1308]

The new Breitlings might look strange in the pictures, but I tried the 42mm dark blue dial with the bracelet in a botique and it fit incredibly well and looked absolutely stunning. The 42 wore smaller due to the shorter lug-to-lug length and the slimmer lugs. The case was beautifully formed and finished, and would shine in the light. I was very impressed with this, although the pricing is bananas

[@RedwoodAggie]

I absolutely love what Doxa's doing. I finally got to try all their models on at an AD recently. The 42mm doesn't wear as big as one would think, due to the cushion case. The 300 dial is actually a bit small for my taste, but the 300T is very sweet. I actually really liked the Sub 200 in Aquamarine. The 1500T is definitely a big watch/step up in bracelet quality, but may be a bit much even for my 7.25" wrist. The 600T is so cool looking, but did feel a bit top heavy to me, at least on bracelet. It just sat up kind of high on my wrist. I'm still trying to figure out when/how to fit a Doxa into my collection.

[@muldoon67]

The Famous 'People's' Watch segment is a great idea. Let's have more of that please.

[@bigcosta3478]

Always love your videos! Is there any love for the Breitling Sleekt 38mm chrono?

[@jameshoward9700]

Superocean is a gateway watch. I predict a Kinesis movement 'traditional' diver soon.... at Omega money. Also, some rumours about a legal wrangle with Tudor over the use of this movement. But no great difference (bar power reserve) - cheaper to service. As for 42mm - they wear very small due to case design and wide chapter ring. 42 wears 39/40, especially on rubber. Side to side with the new 39 Ranger, Breitling 42 wears smaller.

[@Vern13green]

It's great to have you guys back; when both of you are presenting for a video, the math changes to 1+1=3.

[@angustillett2649]

They say they make a 38-40mm doxa diver is they day I have $1500 less

[@tylermcqueen7239]

Question for whatnot. Best everyday watch under $500 and between 40-44mm?

[@michaelhamilton812]

Inscriptions are great on a watch; make it yours! Great content team.

[@brianhsin678]

I don't like the Breitling. That being said, 1. Brand prestige 2. Fit/Finish 3. COSC certification/ better tuned movement.

[@jamesbaum9775]

I own quite a few Breitlings and for as much as I think they knocked it out of the park with the new Navitimers I really think the swung and missed with these Superoceans. That hammer like hour hand really bugs me. The bronze looks OK though.

[@NW-lj6oo]

The chapter ring looks a little like a roulette wheel which is out of proportion on a watch but it is an effort to do something different.

[@franky3fingers337]

The SuperOcean is weird, has no date, has an easily serviced movement will probably be available at 50%+ discounts and is strangely attractive. (To me) Maybe have to pick one up.

[@justinmiller7083]

Where would you get that type of discount.?

[@franky3fingers337]

Brick and mortar shops that have these sit for too long or online grays that you can call up and make offers too. It would require some leg work. But right now these aren’t widely available yet so I would try finding one at a good price next year.

[@Pepsiaddicto]

Almost all of this discussion could apply to the previous generations of the superocean that have existed forever. Same movement, same sizes, colorful dials, same price range.

[@theviewer6321]

In what Time costs an Omega Seamaster from the 60s 3000

[@kevinp4305]

38, 40, 42mm case sizes with the B20 movement then these are true competitors in the entry level diving segment. As offered, they are a bit underwhelming.

[@17.06.Copper]

The B20 movement is thicker than the selita/ ETA. Why do you think the SuperOcean Heritage is so thick?

[@kevinp4305]

@@17.06.Copper Most people are not overly concerned about the thickness of a dive watch. Considering how thick the BB58 and SMP 300 are and how they still sell like hotcakes. The movement however is important here because the B20 is a far superior movement than the B17. The power reserve at 38 hours is a joke in a watch approaching 5K. I like Breitling and have owned a few in the past, but paying this much money for a watch that has a selita/ETA movement does not make sense when there are so many better options out there at this price point.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Gah! I aesthetically love these new Superocean… but those SPECS 💀 it’s really just not up to snuff. I’d love to get one on the wrist!

[@jkern7576]

Great video guys… I got one word for you FINISHING. Doxa/Zodiac isn’t even in the same universe when it comes to Breitling finishing. Is it worth 2x, 3x 4x more…not sure. Maybe. Having held all three of these watches, the Breitling definitely feels like “a lot more” in the flesh.

[@lousyshot1]

Zodiak over Breitling. IMHO.

[@classychictipz]

I've been a total Breitling fangirl since the female Chronomat was released last year. I also really like the new 36mm SuperOcean . 💙

[@Frame-313]

I'm a Breitling fan and I don't know where they are going now. The whole heritage push has some really nice pieces but I am totally fed up with the lack of inventive leaps they used to do with their watches. I remember going in the early 90s going into a Breitling AD and seeing all the amazing US military adverts and record breaking challenges, with the Emergency, Aerospace, Avenger and so on. They were for me the aviators watch and they were bristling with the latest technology. Now, to me they have lost their edge and lost that feather in their cap of being the number one Aviators watch of choice. They need to stop doing bloody reboots and start inventing again. Sorry for the rant.

I like the looks of the Breitling - like Michael the white would be my first choice - but 36 is too small. Might go look at a 42 in person. Great video - famous watches is an interesting new feature.

[@nrbrown5985]

The Zodiac Sea Wolf is a great watch...but the STP movement is terrible. I sold my Sea Wolf and picked up a Doxa Sub 600T. The Doxa is a much better product.

[@bjornhuijnen5044]

I love the new breitling, already bought the 42mm with the white dail / blue bezel, on a bracelet, with is better then a Tudor bracelet( with I also own, panda chrono). I also own the previous generation with the blue dail. The power reserve is not a problem for me. Always keep an open mind and buy what you like. Keep up the good content guys.

Then your content starts, I get a quick advertisement on your sponsor, then right away an add on your job offer. Then an other KZbin ad, then your one minute sponsorship. A bit later 5-10 minutes of ads about the T&H shop and it finishes by a KZbin ad. As a non American, It’s absolutely insane and hugely decreases the value of your content compared to, like, only a year ago

There is a young auther from I think Singapore or somewhere in Asia that started watchmaking at a very young age that has written a book about the misconceptions of watchmaking, the business, and how to be a watchmaker. He was very lively on the internet a few years ago but I have not heard from him lately. Maybe you have even come across him. OK , I finally just found it. No BS Watchmaker

I tried the SuperOcean out in the boutique and the bezel action is wobbly, lots of back play, the movement is not worthy to be in a $5k watch and if you think what you can get at Tudor for example for a bit more than half the Breitling price, it’s not a comparison. Not sure what Breitling is thinking. Not a bad watch but way overpriced.
