Breitling for Bentley Celebrates 10 Years With 3 New In-House Chronographs
Ten years ago, Breitling launched its Breitling for Bentley watch collection on the heels of Bentley winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. To pay tribute to the first decade of collaboration between the Swiss watch brand and the British luxury carmaker, Breitling has launched the first three Breitling for Bentley watches equipped with Breitling manufacture movements.The new Breitling for Bentley timepieces are the Bentley B06, Bentley B04 GMT, and Bentley B05 Unitime. Each has a self-winding chronograph movement (based on the groundbreaking Breitling B01, the brand’s first-ever in-house movement) with a column wheel, vertical coupling clutch and a power reserve of more than 70 hours. (For more on Caliber B01’s development, see our in-depth historical profile of Breitling.)

Reborn Halda Watch Co. to Send Timepiece Into Space
Swedish manufacturer Halda Watch Co. has announced that ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang will wear a new watch called the Halda Space Discovery during a trip aboard the shuttle Discovery, currently scheduled to launch on August 28. The watch was developed with Fuglesang to meet an astronaut’s requirements, and the trip into space is part of the development process. The watch – to be produced in a limited edition of 128 pieces – will go on sale in December. The Halda Space Discovery consists of a “time platform” with two replaceable time modules: an advanced electronic module, and a module with a high beat mechanical movement modernized by renowned watchmaker Svend Andersen. The electronic time module provides functions such as a 3�\axis accelerometer, a particle counter, UTC/MET alarms, and an Earth Timer. The electronic time module case is made of Tecamax, a new material certified by NASA and known for its light weight, high strength, and resistance to aci

Got it!

Fit Question
Would like some input on one of my previous watches before buying a new one. I had a BLNR and it felt ok on the wrist, maybe slightly larger, but not too crazy. When I look at it in pictures it seems the same, maybe a tad large, but not too large.I'm now considering a 36mm or DJ 41. Not 100% sold on the DJ41 as I think it will be closer in size to the GMT I had. Sent from my Moto X Play using Tapatalk
