The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Interesting that you say that.
Do you mean "lighter brown" as in lighter than the black dial or "lighter" brown?
I found the PanAmerican in real life to be quite a lively and dark shade of brown, almost black.
When I saw it a week ago I was not even aware of it's existence so the only thing that struck me at first was the sunburst dial.
It was a moment later after a closer look that I realized that I am looking at a different colour dial.
As I said in my previous post, I think a black sunburst dial would be awesome! Lot more versatile.
Also the Navi 01 LE Blue Sky with a sunburst dial would look amazing I think.
Having said that I love sunburst dials hence I think Breitling would benefit from more options along these lines.

PanAmerica. Is Breitling's name for the light brown tending to grey. Havana is the name for the darker brown / bronze dial (think Monty Legende).

Any chance you could steer me to some examples of the Havana Brown?

Here is a datora in Havana

The Navi 01 I saw was much, much darker than that. A kind of cross between black and grey.

The Havana changes colors a lot depending on the light. It's a pretty dark brown when inside. Here is another pic where it is darker.

I understand what you are trying to say natasen.
The PanAmerican I saw was more dark grey.
It took me a few moments to realise that it is not the standard black dial and that was in bright Boutique lights.

I meant lighter brown than the bronze (or Havana) dial which is darker IMO.

That Datora doesn't look Havana to me.

This is about as light as i have ever seen Havana:

Did the datora ever come in bronze/brown color besides the Havana color?

Havana dials are notoriously hard to photograph, as they are changing colors in different lighting conditions, photobucket adds to this w/ their inadequate compression; here are two examples (imgur "huge" thumbnails & full res links above)

Agree Fred, but I have. Ever seen a Datora with the colour of that Legende. It did come in what I know as PanAmerican, but maybe Breitling changed naming conventions for colours - we have Blackbird = black steel and Cockpit as a quartz watch now so wouldn't surprise me.
