Nice watch! Which specific model is this? I have never seen the blue case / black band combo but I love it!

This is the EDC I carry 90% of the time. A titanium Casio MR-G B5000B, a titanium WE Elementum and a titanium carved out keybar. Sometimes I attach a Nitecore Tiny2 to the keybar, this is a small square flashlight in... you guessed it: titanium 😅

Yeah thanks! It came on a (also vintage) brown rubber tropic strap but I like this better 😀

Wow I absolutely love this new design! Especially the part around the new pushers is nice, although I can imagine that current owners of an Aerospace will be disappointed with the loss of the multifunctional crown. I think from the side it looks quite similar to the design of the crownguards of the Chronomat 40, a design I really appreciate.

Funny that my love for watches basically started after reading The Greatest Adventure by Piccard and Jones. I was still in high school and quickly discovered that a Breitling Emergency was not quite in reach considering my budget was dictated by the number of papers I delivered 😅

Fratello recommends the documentary on Youtube but I can also recommend this book!
