First off the watch is more like 39mm not 42 mm. Not a huge difference but it helps put it into perspective. The workmanship is typical Breitling - excellent. I like its simple yet elegant look. Most of my watches are diver style so this fits very well. It is not a heavy watch but it still has presence. I have DOXA and Fortis watches and I would put this in the same class. Would have preferred this in black PVD or DLC but that was not to be. I also wish it were more brushed finish rather than polished. But I might be able to do that myself or have it done. If you want a great looking, well built watch, this will fit the bill.

I bought this Breitling Colt Auto about 8 months ago. The watch has just the right mix of style, class and modern design without going OTT. Breitling is a very good Swiss watch maker without the "look at me" factor of Tag's or Rolex's
It's a very chunky watch without feeling too heavy, although the strap is a little too thick at the clasp and digs into your wrist if you rest your arms on your desk while typing, this has also left my strap a little scratched.

I ordered this watch "used". The seller stated that it was slightly scratched and needed a good polishing. That much is true. However he failed to mention that the watch needed $800 in repairs. The watch doesnt even work!! Now I have to send it back to Breitling for a complete overhaul. Don't order from this seller!

Always wanted a black, white and a blue watch for my collections. I own a Tag Aquaracer (Alarm & black dial), Omega Speedmaster(Day & Date, Automatic, Silver dial, Omega Speedmaster (Automatic, white dial, circa 1960) and Breitling Aeromarine Colt (Automatic, Blue dial). This is by far the best watch that I like and prefer wearing everyday. Prefered it to the GMT. The stainless steel and blue looks stunning. It's an eyecatcher and a conversation starter. No scratches on the glass after almost a year of daily use. Keeps accurate time. Not heavy or big sized for my wrist. Simple yet elegant ! Love it !!

The only problem is keeping all my automatics wound-up all the time. Time to invest in some Wolf watch winder perhaps :-)
