You just
got to love those analog/digital multi-function watches. Especially the
Aerospace from Breitling. What a watch! It’s almost like you turn into a fearsome fighter
pilot the second you put it on your wrist. My first Aerospace was the
Repetition Minutes and was from the late 90’s and came on a black Hershey
rubber. I really wanted one with a bracelet and the UTC-module but this is what
I found to a decent price when I decided to start looking for one.

I didn’t
feel that the rubber look was working on this non-diver’s watch so I went out
and bought a leather strap for it instead. Looked a little better but didn’t do
the trick for me so I flipped it and decided to wait for a two tone version
with the big bold italic numbers on the dial to show up.

The
Aerospace is really user friendly. It takes a little while to get a hold of the
twisting and turning of the crown but once you get the hang of it the maneuvering
of all the functions is easy enough to figure out without a manual. The
Aerospace is a great everyday watch but especially an awsome travel companion and
if you don’t have a hang-up on automatic/mechanical-watches-only then it’s
perfect.
