Breitling had no real surprises for this year, as nearly I knew nearly everything already. A lot of new dials for different models: Starliner, Superocean, Cockpit Lady. Best one is the new dial for the Airwolf!


Browsing another forum today, I came across this picture. No source given but the background is the June issue of International Watch magazine. Could this be the new Superocean dial?

Could be a Photoshop job or even a fake but the hour hand fits in with the Heritage styling Breitling are using for the Superocean range.

I have to say I really like the typography used on this dial.

I believe that is the real deal.

Yes it is the new dial. I'm not convinced by it personally. The outline numerals look even worse on the yellow dial.

My AD has one in Corral. I'm not sure about it either, but it is different. Then again I've never been a superocean afficionado.

I do like those corral dials though!

I love the black-dialled one

I like the black dial and how superocean is in red, but that's the only color I've seen in person.

Not a fan of the new dial, but it could grow on me in time.

Yes, it's the new dial. I believe you have to have a dark dial to make it work - on a lighter dial the hollow numbers just disappears.
