“Sketchy dudes wear Breitling”  There are a lot of misconceptions about this saying. This phrase is not a dig on Breitling at all. I’m a big fan of the brand, own a few of them and wear them regularly. “Sketchy” is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s really that in the 90s and 2000s, Breitling was worn by a lot of gray area operators, both “good” and “bad” (subjective terms). With strong roots in aviation, Breitling is a signal that the wearer is adventurous but also appreciates fine craftsmanship in utilitarian tools. From the Blackwater Breitling Emergency, former Soviet arms dealer Viktor Bout’s Breitling B-1, British SAS Officer turned Mercenary Simon Mann’s Breitling Emergency and Director of CIA George Tenet’s Breitling Aerospace. All of these men gravitated to the brand and their tool watches. When Leonardo DiCaprio played Danny Archer, a former African smuggler turned mercenary in the movie “Blood Diamond,” he wore a sketchy Breitling Chrono Avenger. I recently learned Breitling discontinued the Aerospace, really hoping this is temporary as it is one of my favorite and most practical watches. Stay sketchy Breitling lovers. -W.O.E. . . . #watchesofespionage #breitlingwatch #breitling #breitlingwatches #breitlingaerospace
