hi, i have a Chronomat and Colt GMT, and now i'm quite interest in the new Cockpit/Chrono Cockpit model. but have a few questions:

1 what mechanic do they run? are they much different?
2 why chrono cockpit (39mm) is smaller than cockpit (41.5 mm) in size?

do you guys think it will worth invest on one of this model?

cheers...

1. The Chrono Cockpit has a Breitling Caliber 13 self winding movement which should be based on the Valjoux 7750 with a 39mm diameter.

The Cockpit has a Breitling Caliber 49 self winding movement (not sure which movement this is based on) with a 41mm diameter

The 39mm is a little small for my taste but then again I like big watches.
