A Breitling For A Small Wrist

[Mercury]

I know these watches are quite large compared to other brands but is there a Bretling that wears small and would look good a smaller wrist?

Thank You

No.

Or maybe Navitimer with a strap?

Funny, I asked a similar question a couple of months ago. I have a 6.5-7 inch wrist, and didn't like big watches at all. Since then, I've changed my mind a bit, and got the SOSF. It's a bit thick, but stunning, and overall blends well.

The navitimer isn't overly huge at 42mm. The SOSF doesn't wear that big either. What size is your wrist? Mine is about 6.75" and I can wear anything short of a Super Avenger or large Bentley.

Agreed. My wrist is the same size and I can wear anything less than Bentleys. I could possibly even wear a Bentley, but I'd rather not.

Maybe a colt ? That would wear small

Probably, but the point of Breitlings is not to wear small.

I'd say get an over-sized one and wear it big. Nut up, as they say.

I think you should try the Super Avenger. Then anything else you wear will seem small. I have a 7 1/2 in wrist and thought that anything over 42mm was to big. The biggest watch I had when I got here was a 42mm. Now I feel anything under 45mm Is small. I just happen to like the look and feel of a big watch; although I dont have big wrists. Like the others have said, give the Nav a try, good luck Mike

My tiny 6" wrists manage to support my evo, only just although it is a poor angle pic

About 6in. I have a PO that wears well at 42.5 but it doesn't have nearly the same thickness as a SOSF.

Well said. I guess I will be waiting for one to go on sale from a member.

Hi, my SOH on rubber band looks perfect on my 6,5 wrist.

My Colt Automatic wears small. Seems like the only comes with blue dial. It's an older Breitling (1990 vintage), but it's pretty nice. FYI, I am selling mine right now on the bay

The genuine Topgun is quite small and there are smaller montbrilliants 40. I actually had one on my wrist the weekend and thought is was to small.

[Mercury]

Well I tried on a Chronomat Evo and SOSF and it's large but it works. Now I have to decide between a Tag Heuer Link and the Breitlings. Thanks for the help on the size issue everybody.

Lots of people with small wrists wear SOSFs. Now a Super Avenger....

Good stuff

check out the bentley gt their 44mm but the lugs slant downwards wears almost like a 42mm watch

[Bike Mike]

My $0.02, if the watch lugs hang over your wrist to where the bracelet drops say 90 degrees or less from the case back, the piece is too big for you. A bracelet should wrap around your wrist, not hang from the lugs just to have the clasp touch the underside of the wrist to hold the watch on. The watch should looked balanced on your wrist. Even a 42mm watch can look big if it is fitted to someone with a proprotionatly sized wrist. If you don

Great advice/observation Bike Mike.

If you are looking for a Breitling for small wrists:

Navitimer on leather

SuperOcean Heritage 38mm (not repped)

Colt

Completely Agree!

[morlock]

Same wrist size, 6.75, and the Colt just fits perfect.

BINGO! That is what I am getting it! That watch looks great and your size wrist and much bigger then the 41mm it is.

Mike, HERE you have the link for the review I wrote some time ago about my Colt.
