Here is a great posting, by WatchFred, who is one of the driving forces behind the new Breitling models.

Fred was in Shanghia (on stage with Georges Kern), for the launch of the new Navitimer 8, and he shares some thoughts about the new watches that have been released, and those to come.

: re-issue / re-inspiration / classics / homage competition, in
: 2018?
