Post subject:  Happy to see more "blue-and-black" dials nowadays:

I've suggested on various Breitling fora for a while back now that IMHO the most beautiful dial color combo for a Breitling Chronograph is blue with black sub-dials. (Being second best the all blue and all black dial.)
My very first "success" is this color selection made for the new B01 which they call "Blackeye Blue". (The blue Aerospace with the black digital fields can also be counted somehow here but it's an older one than I've ever published my idea...)
Now I'm happy to see that the LE SOHC will also have a blue/black dialled version - this one is called "Gun Blue".
Of course I do not say that my posts were the starting guns for the production of these dials but it is not a bad feeling that some of my published wishes come to reality.

I'm waiting very much other models to reach these new, beautiful dial versions, which is much more than pure fashion:
- Chrono Superocean
- Chrono Cockpit (with day-date feature!)
- Superocean Heritage Chrono "normal size" - I mean 40-42 mm (with the standard 7750 dial layout and day-date)
- B01 with a weekday feature addition and an upright date window (or just imagine a simple full calendar version of a Blackeye Blue B01, sg like the good old Valjoux 72C used to have - on the clear continuation of the Datora of the 1940-s!). Lunette calligraphy of the B01 is another issue...

A new double-pusher clasp version with divers extension would also be nice to the Breitling steel bracelets - at least I much prefer this clasp solution of the TAG-Heuer Aquaracer Chrono Auto Day-Date bracelet, among others for this do I wear mine so often nowadays (all-black dial with the day-date 7750 is the other reason). The Oceane Racer clasp already shows into this direction.

I know that there are lots of dial and bracelet preferences among us Breitling fanatics but I do hope that this blue/black wave will bring new customers for Breitling and will bring pleasure to lots of us.

Best regards from beautiful Budapest:

Robertus
