Breitling Chrono Colt Superquartz

Here's one of my favourite Breitling watches: The Chrono Colt (Superquartz) from the Aeromarine series. I like watches with chronomat. I think it makes a watch look more professional. And this eye candy has one of the best movements in the world. The unique Superquartz (which you find only in Breitling watches, some of those are Aerospace, Airwolf, Emergency and Colt Quartz.) It has a thermocompensated quartz crystal that adapts to the variosu climates and changes in the outside temperature. That makes the watch extremely accurate (Breitling says 15sec +/- a year, while some other sources say the difference is less than 10 sec a year). That's some of the best there is on the wristwatch market. So, if you're into accuracy (like me), this watch is definitely for you. The battery lasts 2-3 years (similar to Airwolf, but less than the Colt Quartz, which lasts about 8 years). It has a calendar between 4 and 5h, which makes it unique among Breitling watches and easy to distinguish. The water resistance is 200m. Everything else is a well known Breitling quality and design. If you wear this watch, it's really obvious that it's a Breitling and it's definitely an eye catcher. You can get a new one for about 2000 euro, maybe more, maybe less, depends on how good you bargain. This watch is definitely on my list, it's more affordable than the Airwolf and still a great watch. If I have the chance, I'd pick this one first. Great watch!
