Breitling Aerospace and Airwolf comparison

I made a comparison of the two high-quality watches from the Breitling Professional series: the Breitling Professional Aerospace and the Breitling Professional Airwolf. I found out that the Airwolf is heavier, has more functions (a crown and 2 pushers), has a more significant design and it's therefore more expensive. It looks more like a tool than a wristwatch. On the other hand, the Aerospace has a more simplistic dial design, with no second hand, a crown without pushers (See this user manual for the Aerospace) and it's one of the lightest Breitling watches. The tastes are different and it's up to you to chose the right timepiece for you. I'd chose both of them if I had the chance, but I hope that one day I can afford at least one of them. The green exclamtion mark (!) means the watch is better in this category. It was a close call, but in comparison of the most important aspects the winner (or my winner) is Airwolf. But compare for yourself.
