I am looking for a non-chrono watch and narrowed my choice down to either the Colt Automatic or the SuperOcean (not the one with the Rubber Bezel). Curious which watch you guys would lean towards? I am looking for this to be more of an everyday wearer that can be dressed up or down. Thanks guys! |

I know this is a Breitling forum but my next watch is gonna be an everyday non-chrono and I'm going with the 45.5mm Omega Planet Ocean. Just something to think about. If you're set on a Breitling, very understandable, I'd go with the Superocean out of your two choices. |

Great choice, I had the Chrono version (it is very big!) roman4405 wrote: I know this is a Breitling forum but my next watch is gonna be an everyday non-chrono and I'm going with the 45.5mm Omega Planet Ocean.

I'm still trying to decide between the 42mm and the 45.5mm, these damn tough decisions

Presonally I like like the styling on the Colt a little more. The size is a little smaller and works for an all around watch (sport / dress). The baton markers help the watch strike a good balance between tool and sophistication. Depending how tough you are are with your watches the polished finished may be difficult. Personally I happen to wear a Colt almost every day and with minimal effort I've been able to keep a like new appearance. Keep us posted on your decision! |

Go for the big fella.

Depending on the size of your wrist the Super Avenger is a good looking piece....

Much prefer the baton markers on the Colt auto over the older Superocean dial. I like to swap over to leather bands now and then and the Colt suits them very well |

You said that you do not like the newer version of the Superocean...have you seen it in person? I did not like it either when I first saw it in pictures, but have grown to love it after looking at it at my AD a few times (especially with the yellow ring  ).

It's not that I don't like the SuperOcean II...I just think it might be a bit "too sporty" for everday. Of all the colors I like the yellow. I guess the black or silver wouldn't be too sporty. But they all look great |

I thought the same thing (in fact I really didn't care for it when I first saw it), but it has a totally different look in person. I would also agree that probably the black has the least sporty look to it...then the silver/white. |

If the size works for you, the Colt has on of my favorite Breitling dials. Its classy, sporty, dressy, whatever. I sold mine because it was just a bit too small for me. Beautiful dial though. |
