Anybody else notice that the new red markings are actually painted on the sapphire crystal itself rather than the dial?

This pics shows it off best:

I think that's just an optical illusion.

+1 on that driver!! if breitling did something like that I would have to see some good reason as to why they did to not hang a picture of it on my wall and throw darts at it!

No, it's just an illusion.

If you look at '30 seconds chronograph', you can see the shadow of the hands darkening the text, which means the text must be below the hands and therefore not on the crystal.

At last I hope so lol.

Well, both the Racing and regular GT now come with the dials I am talking about. I think they are unique and nice
