Cousins: Heuer and Breitling Chronomatic GMTs


same motor, different cars? same DNA, different mutations? same joint venture, different automatic chronographs?

any way you look at it, these are two great looking, colorful GMT chronographs . . . Chronomatic or Chrono-Matic!!

in the end, I opted for the Heuer: better wearability (on my skinny wrist); better legibility of the second timezone (big numerals on outer bezel versus smaller numerals on inner bezel) . . . but they are both killers! Thanks to Alex for finding the Breitling, and to Arne for providing it with a good new home, after its year in Atlanta! From Germany to Atlanta to Sweden, all in the Chronocentric family!
