Breitling make cheap timepieces and dress them up for high price sales. I've seen the inners of the aerospace and it's not dissimilar to a citizen/accurist. It's the same module used by Tissot in a fairly low-end watch.

I also owned one for a week; got rid when I realised how badly it was made.

Breitling dont even manufacture their own movements any more. All they do is the case and the strap.
Nor do Omega: they're based on ETA movements.

The cheapest decent watch maker that manufacture their own movements is seiko. If you want swiss it's Rolex.

Edit: to be fair Citizen make some excellent watches too.
