I don't need a Breitling. I'm happy enough with Seiko watches that share some of the Breitling's cues like this Seiko SNAB67 Pilot Watch.
It wears like a 46mm overall, 44mm bezel and 49mm case size, same as my Velatura. I haven't tested the lume yet.
It has a huge stopwatch button on the upper right part of the bezel and almost seems designed for stopwatch functions.
Looks like I'll need to remove 2 links for my 7.5 inch wrists.
Jeff - Does Seiko make Kinetic versions of their Pilot watches? How does Seiko Kinetic compare to Citizen Eco Drive?

The Seiko SKA425P2 is kinetic but hard to get. The Eco Drive is easer to own, just pick up and go; you have to baby those kinetics. It's a matter of preference and style.

Gary, funny you should mention eco drive because Seiko has a solar pilot watch, the Seiko SSC007: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-SEIKO-Mens-Solar-Chronograph-Watch-SSC007-/190749655877?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2c6990c345

I like this one a lot Jeff. It reminds me of one of my Aeromatics.
