but the thing that bugs me the most is the way the date window, the 6 and 9 baton markers, and even the Wings logo overlap the inner 24 hour numbers. Design-wise, that kind of thing just doesn't work for me.


Couldn't agree more.

The bezel is ceramic? That seals it. I LOVE the new SO. I agree on the numbers being cut off but it's by no means a deal breaker for me. And i MUCH prefer the batons to the numerals.

I generally prefer baton indices to numerals. But the batons on the new superOcean strike me as too bold. And I agree with Driver8 that the bezel is a tad too thick. But that might be because it's all blackened. If the case and thus also the inner and outer ring of the bezel would be solid steel it might look completely different. I think I'd like it much more non-blackened.

I'm curious to see the price of the Superocean Ceramic and how it compares to the Chronoworks. Here are some more shots of the Navitimer 01 Blacksteel.

Personally think the superocean with batons and ceramic bezel is a nice update. Still have my reservations about the black steel look, but will be curious to see where pricing lands.
