The Breitling B01 models predominantly come in 42 or 43mm sizes, though there are some 41mm options like the Navitimer. For someone with a 15.5cm wrist circumference like mine, these still qualify as large dials.
After wearing larger watches and complex chronograph faces for a while, I recently found myself craving something smaller! And guess what? The Breitling GMT has been flying off shelves overseas—and for good reason!
Its design exudes a rugged simplicity that screams “straightforward, masculine, minimalist, yet tasteful and effortlessly cool.” It’s the kind of watch you could see yourself wearing forever. Compared to the intricate three-register layout of the B01, this one feels simpler but radiates even more raw masculinity.
This particular model is the Mechanical Chronograph GMT Dual Time Zone, featuring a sleek 40mm case paired with the iconic bullet bracelet—a must-have accessory. Plus, it’s an autographed edition by Giannis Antetokounmpo (the “Greek Freak”). While I’m not much of an NBA fan anymore, it was the distinctive olive green dial that truly caught my eye—it’s stunning! Especially under light, where its sunburst finish outshines any plain lacquer dial in my opinion.
Honestly, I’m completely smitten by its appearance. Here’s another tip: even if you don’t care about watches, do yourself a favor and get your hands on a Breitling just for that legendary bullet chain—it’s worth it at any cost!

I totally get the appeal of switching to a smaller watch after wearing bigger ones for a while. The Breitling GMT does sound tempting with its rugged yet simple style—it’s no wonder it’s popular overseas. I wonder how it compares in terms of durability compared to other watches in its class.
