    My goodness this tutorial is without question still relevant. Just picked up a pre owned Aerospace in pristine condition. And for the life of me couldn’t get the minute hand aligned. And your video ironed it out for me.
    Thanks a bunch!!!

    I’ve got the 42mm watch from 2006. Great travel watch. And the most comfortable watch ever. The titanium has such little mass it’s like wearing nothing. My favourite feature being the repetition minutes. Middle of the night you wake up. Just reach over and press the crown and count off the time without a light in your face. Change time zones in a plane just rotate the crown to add or subtract hours. Most accurate quartz I’ve owned due to the thermo compensated feature. All in all a belter if a watch. Nice wide bracelet and rides really low on the wrist. Cool tech piece with an almost steam punk feel with that dark dull titanium look. A cracking beater watch that I’ve seen for a healthy discount all over the place. Every watch nerd needs a Breitling Aero in their collection. Just for shits n giggles.

    Well, it basically works the same as the original Tissot Twotimers with the ETA 958.335 did--with some new features. There are a ton of similar watches available in all price ranges, from a basic Certina to a Tissot up to these Aerospaces.

    I once had a Certina with a similar combined analog/digital display and pretty much all the functions shown here in the Breitling, except for backlight and most of the sound effects. Price was around $400. It served me well for 10 years, but when it finally broke dorwn the repair cost was equal to a new watch.

    This could have been the ideal officers watch. The potential is right there..
    Although I used a Seiko 5 day and date for many years in the army, having an automatic watch was really helpful after discovering the tendency of quartz watches to “die” at worst possible moments.

This Breitling is built to a somewhat higher standard and quality than the G-Shock and has a different aesthetic and will therefore appeal to a slightly different audience. Second hand these are superb value and so are the G-Shock watches.

    the problem with watches equipped with such electronic windows is, you can hardly see anything there. And it is not because it is small, it's because of lighting conditions, unless you turn the watch light on. Whatever you want to use, chrono, contdown timer , etc, sometimes you don't see clearly unless you turn the watch straight into your eyes etc. Traditional display with hands etc is much faster in my opinion, you can see from any angle where the watch hand is. In the brand/model I have, aviation watch, with all those alarms, time zones, etc etc, the light goes off raally fast, and in alarm mode you can not use it at all, as the button turns the alarm on and off. Basically, in the nighttime, useless.
