Brietling is a great watch company, but as a dedicated Rolex sport watch snob, I think there watches are about as gaudy as it gets. Ive never seen a Brietling that I could read at a glance. The idea of a pilot staring at one of these and trying to figure out what it says while flying a plane kinda scares me.
If you want and inexpensive chrono look at the Tudor Tiger, a Sin, or a Bell & Ross. I like the Fortis also, but I dont know much about them.
