Not a fan of either. Both are handsome but for me a little ordinary looking pieces. From those too I´d go for the SOHC with leather. It´s more stylish and better all rounder. The PO is very sporty and casual but looks too generic in style over all. Both anyway good choises.

The Omega is beautiful, and it speaks to me. The SOH, looks too big and just doesn't have that 'wow' factor that I think the Omega has. So my vote would have to be the Omega. Sorry guys, just my opinion...

Omega seems to launch just now a smaller verson of the POC (think 42 mm), looks nice (except the date window missing upright) - this size makes the POC just a tad ahead of the SOHC.
I hope Breitling follows suit with a normal size SOHC (say 40-41 mm) and maybe even takes over with the addition of the weekday indication - the ETA 7750 is ready for that.

NB: Don't find this smaller POC on the official site or popular fora yet, I seem to remember seeing the scan somewhere else - hope not a fake, the site certainly made me think it is original.

Best regards: Robertus

Hi if you want Bling go for the Breitling. if you want something with more class go for the Omega everytime.

Both are nice, but between the two id go for the SOH on ocean racer or leather.

As some have already said the PO is alittle plain looking to me. I just got rid of my PO, never really excited me when I looked at it on my wrist the way my Chronomat or Seawolf does. I would definately go with the SOH. IMHO the SOH is seems to be alittle more exclusive then the PO. I had seen(saw?) a SOH on an Ocean Racer at an AD and it looked great. Next to the Pilot, the Ocean racer may be my new favorite band. And I NEVER liked rubber on watches...funny how like/dislike change.

I think you mean 7.5 inches?? lol.

I bought my POC (orange numbers) on a whim, and it has turned out to be my favorite watch. Those of you that know me, know that means alot, as i have owned a shedload of watches! It combines everything i like into one piece, and in my opinion has a look that never gets boring imho.

SOHC is nice, but just doesn't do it for me.

Plenty of views going each way, but given that this is a Breitling forum, I think a fairly even split of opinions is a win for the Omega. :wink:

Seriously, I suspect the PO would be the clear leader on any other forum. I'm not trying to be inflammatory, that's just what I think.

Even though this is a breitling forum, I've always found the members to be very honest and unbiased regarding other brands. Thats one of the things that makes this place cool. It isn't just a Breitling forum, its a watch forum. :D
