And they are selling! The Premier is really well done - and will continue to strengthen the re-positioning of the brand in market segments widely neglected in the past. Won't talk about the Navitimer 806 Re-Edition, will let others judge that one, but it is the first of some rather lovely watches to be revived. There's the elephant in the room, of course - what will happen with THE Schneider Icon, the watch that saved Breitling and has been one of the biggest sellers for decades; the Chronomat: See above, a bit of patience, please; but it receives all the respect and passion it deserves. we may, of course, fail. mess it up. blow it. trying hard not to. I am excited to the extent I am afraid I might lose control of my bladder! Looking forward to 2019 |

Kern confirmed on Insta that there is no blue 42 and only the 48mm will have a no date option. |

As previously mentioned, I'm a big fan of the new direction for the Superocean series. I am, however, puzzled by the lack of ceramic bezels in these models. Once that started happening with the SOH series, I thought it might start to become standard for Breitling's dive watches. |

Kern: "Starting the Basel fair today with my new Super Ocean black steel in 46mm. Super clean and powerful design and great comfort in wearing it! " |

I'm slightly puzzled as to why the big SO doesn't have a date complication..... Just to save the aesthetics? I like the expanding diver strap though |

In all seriousness I think it's fantastic to see multiple sizes being made available. I can't tell you the amount of times I've really liked a watch only to find that it's either been too big or too small for me IRL. I've long wished that a few more companies would adopt this approach of covering a few more bases. Completely agree. It's such a logical thing to do and very gratifying that these new iterations are doing it. |
