New Breitling B70 Orbiter
My AD is offering me the new B70 Orbiter at a discount.
Any views on this model? I have a couple recent Navitimers (including the LE 747) as well as a early 2000s Chronomat and do like the brand overall. I know Breitling are routinely discounted - my AD normally gives me 20% to 30% off most available models/brands.
My only analog digitals are G-Shocks. I might take the plunge on this model. Not a limited edition per se, but unique enough to grab my interest. Any thoughts?

I have the Evo night mission and find it very comfortable and light weight being made of titanium,it can be a bit tricky to set due to just using the crown but I think i see pushers on the side of the B70 so might be a bit easier to set ,plus with a good discount sounds good ,also see how bright the LCD is as on mine it's not that bright

Thanks for your insights. Much appreciated.
The new B70 movement looks like a significant step up in simplicity from the older movement. If I liked orange at all, I’d be strongly considering the Orbiter.
And while its not an out-and-out LE, it’s going to be limited to some degree - there’s only so much balloon to go around 😉
