anyone else notice the red in the strap?


Yep, I guess they're forcing their new "vision" on us.

I would like to see their entire new line-up.

Yes I did, interesting but not appealing. Wonder if its a sandwich layer or just surface applied?

Edit,

I see its leather so must be a sandwich layer.

OMG that is so ugly!!!!!!!!!!!

The transocean 1461 is actually a very nice looking piece, put it on a brown croc and that's a winner. The Chronomat GMT 44 is a very nice looking piece also, but the rest are horrible. Those rose gold bezels make me want a rubber bezel!!!!



I think the Transocean "lineup" is the real winner here. Each of the TOs were very nice in my opinion (even the slightly goofy globe on the Unitime seems to work).

The blacksteel, buck rogers, and quartz crap can take a hike.

I'm not a TO fan but I don't think the globe looks that bad on the rose gold Unitime. I kinda like it, it reminds me of the IWC 3774 with globe in the center. I don't like the black dial but the white dial with blue globe is kinda cool. 46mm is just too damn big though.

I dont mind it to be honest. Breitling has worse watches in the line up than this one.

Where did the new design initiative come from? I can't believe how dramatic of a change the company seems to be on. I'm a first time buyer and am forced to look for leftover new stock to get something I recognize as a 'ling. I'm not just parroting the forum opinion either. Everybody who has handled the new models with me seems unimpressed. My boss who is looking for a new piece right now ended up buying Omega. Did they hire somebody new? Am I just getting old?

Well this one could be really nice, but fell a bit short for me. I like SQ, as I think they have a purpose and are so incredibly accurate. I don't like the fact that it replaces the SWC. The colors? How come no yellow/black combo, which are Breitling's colors? I think the size is cool. But they missed a huge point AGAIN: NO pip non the bezel!!! They have huge pips on chronomats, but not in a 2000m dive watch??? Come on, man! If you are gonna make a dive watch, MAKE a dive watch!....ok, rant over. HAGWE... :D

Don't really like it. Can't say I'm surprised. When are Breitling going to realise that all these coloured highlights are cheap and nasty?

This and that disgusting bucket collection of bits that they are calling a black bird have finished it for me.

There are a couple of guys in their twenties in the agency that would spend a couple of hundred on a sports watch i will send them down to breitlings new national ad Ratners...

I do actually understand the newish marketing policy. But in my unhumble opinion this is shit!
