Breitling Heritage Three Hand

Was cruising Hamilton jewelers this afternoon and mrs. b and i both feel in love with the blue bezel blue dial Breitling 38 mm Heritage with the mesh bracelet. This watch is clean, sleekly retro and very comfortable. Also available in black dial. Retail $3500, I'm hunting. Perhaps there will be a black and blue in my future. It is the bomb! Looks much better in real world. First Swiss watch in a while that has knocked me out.
Looking for pix to post.

Great watch, get your bling on brother!!!

The same 38mm blue dial is in the window at my local Tourneau.
It's a fantastic looking watch.

Get one!!!

Funny looks like this one that I saw an ad for at the top of the page and its only $249

I know, I'm bad......

Yep - One of the few Bs that ever stung me.
And just recently here on the mesh bracelet thread.

Its my favorite Breitling model, but I'd go for the black 46mm version.

I'm saving for the black dial. Do it, boscoe.

I would prefer the 46mm too!

Wow, that is great. I love the look of so many Breitlings.

A relatively clean dial on a Breitling? Who would of thunk it?


Nice looking watch, happy hunting.

What a smooth and cool Breitling Boscoe ! It's great how the mesh bracelet
seems to show off the ridges in the bezel. Also that dial, with the markers is
eye-catching yet classy too. Not to mention the hour hand is excellent as well.
This is one exceptional Breitling !

Way cool on the mesh, simple, understated...classic. I'd rather have it the bigger dial too though

I've seen both sizes and IMHO the 38mm looks much better for a watch with that classic design.

The 46 mm looks "unnatural" and Invicta-like.

Also should be noted that the larger size has a central seconds hand and date window at the 6.

When I tried both the 38 and the 46 on, the 38 (IMHO) did look better (at least on my wrist) than the 46. I have a couple watches of the larger size, but they're chronos, and the large dial is broken up by the subs. With 3 hands, and 46mm to fill, it was a lot of black on my wrist.

Here is a great pic of three versions of them. I still lust after the blue 46mm with the mesh dial.

. . . absolutely gorgeous watch. My two bits on the 38mm versus 46mm is that a watch with that classic stance and pedigree transcends the current trend in larger case sizes. Some of the current watch models are suited to be larger . . . but that doll is exactly what it should be as is.

Love it on mesh. Hell of a wrist piece . . . .

AWESOME TIMEPIECE! Stopped at an AD and was ready to pull the trigger on the 46mm black on mesh...............but was stopped by a little voice in my head that said wait for a bit. Beautiful timepiece. Definitely on my want list. I have a meeting set up with the little voice and I'll see if I can work things out. Best wishes for getting yours!

Damn that looks freakin SUHWEET on that mesh! Makes me want mesh even more for the Super Ocean! GO FOR IT BRO! If 38mm puts lead in your pencil then that's the way to go!

I agree Duff, that's a real looker.

I prefer the smaller version. So does Mrs. B.



Nuff said.

Well, I'm looking forward to some pics when you get it. I have'nt seen either size in person, and truth be told I think 43-44mm would be the ideal size for me. I have a few vintage watches that are 38-39mm and they are a little small on my 8" wrist. I'll have to look at them in person but frankly, I'm a little scared to walk into a Breitling dealer, (I may do something stupid-like pay retail.)

Exactly mark. I'm hunting for best deal.
