This has just popped up on my Instagram feed, looks like they have been listening, just slow to react.
Carbon case and dial, I think it looks killer, love the orange strap too.

A carbon case??? Hold on while I pick myself up off the floor!

The only problem I can see is the fact that it's a "one of a kind" creation. Let's just hope it will EVENTUALLY filter into production run stuff! Great stuff if it ever sees the light of "production day". :thumbsup:

Very interesting. Just one question - why the heck wouldn't you tell the world that you were doing something like this? When brands unveil these prototype / concept pieces they get a huge amount of press coverage that rubs off on demand for 'normal' pieces so why the heck would you keep this secret until this low key unveiling?

Very cool, glad to hear they are at least building prototypes in their R&D department.

Agreed, the really should be shouting this from the rooftops.
As said above, any of the avenger range in carbon would be a huge hit, come in breitling, you've got the ability, get this done!

I'm not sure why they keep these to themselves, but I can guess that they may want it low key. Just in case they build up too many expectations, and subsequently in the end decide not to proceed.

Don't worry it's a one off and not going into production guys. To bad because it would be a killer piece!
