Breitling Skyracer

[Kurt Koerfgen]

After I received a pm regarding the Skyracer, I checked to see what I could find. Here's what Breitling had to say about this new model:

the reference to "Barenia leather" for the calf straps. Probably only mentioned in the press releases I suppose. The integrated "rack and pinion" sliderule seems to lend more credence to the Skyracer being a replacement for the B-2 as opposed to the Herc which is what I have read often on the fora. With the Airwolf replacing the B-1 I would have supposed the Skyracer was the B-2 replacement but perhaps you can confirm? :-S

I think there will be a lot of lemania 5100 fans out there cheering the advent of a Breitling movement with a central minute hand for the chrono function. I have a feeling the cal 27 will shortly be legend.

Hi Kurt,

I've been asked about the size of the Skyracer. What happened to the second schimatic drawing with all that good info?

Dunno; looks like my host server dumped them.

I have uploaded them again.


Thanks for mentioning it. :-!
