I found my Bombardier BB2-55 by luck on the pre owned market. I didn't know anything about them at the time and took a chance. I bought it on the spot based solely on my opinion of its high quality and fine wrist presence. I was right. This watch is (in my opinion) 80% the equal of my Navitimer. This is a very fine watch, solidly built and easy to look at. I reccomend them highly.

BB4 by: Thomas C Huggler
Thanks Anonymous for sharing your experience from an owners persepctive. Given the production numbers of other brands you are certainly correct - we are nowhere near these units which makes owning a Bombardier Swiss Chronograph just a little more exciting as you won't find them just about everywhere. The bb4 is a quite unique design and there are very few brands/models, (usually divers), which spot the buttons on the opposite side.
As with any watch, our recommendation is to have it serviced every 24 to 36 months to ensure continuing flawless operation.

BB4 by: Anonymous
I have owned a BB4 Black/Silver with rubber bracelet for over 2 years now. I have always worn my watches on the right wrist. The BB4 is the only watch I know of which can be worn on the right wrist, as the buttons are located on the left. That, together with its stunning design, the fact that they are very, vary scarce (unlike mass produced Rolex, of which by the way I also own 2), made me acquire this Bombardier. Believe me, it's a real eye catcher.

Great Design! by: Patrick
Really check out the site! These watches have a great design... I especially love the BB1 black-black.
Anybody has price information? I heard they are in the same category as Breitling? At least these watches can be worn by somebody who's not retired yet...
