The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Which one would you choose and why?

I'm not particularly a fan of the Chronomat, but I think the Frecce Tricolori Anniversary Limited Edition is compellingly.

Yep, the Frecce for me; I am an Italophile.

I love the blue, green and the salmon.

I would have a really hard time choosing.

Good thing I am not in the market for a new Breitling or any watch for that matter!

I'm leaning towards the panda dial, very closely followed by the Frecce. I think it looks both the smartest and sportiest at the same time, somehow. Can't wait to see it in person.

Me too, torn between the White Panda and the Frecce. Closely followed by the Blackeye blue.

So hard!

Frecce for me..... but the panda with its silver dial looks fantastic as well and runs it a very close second. (Plus I'm always quite partial to a reverse panda too!)

The salmon/champagne looks quite unique but probably a tough one to live with long-term I think, and I've personally never liked any of the "black-eye" variants on any colour dial other than on a panda.

So, Frecce for me.

Frecce for me... It is interesting to see that four of us choose Frecce in posts and there are only two votes for Frecce above

If I had to choose one, it would be the Frecce as I've been considering getting a blue watch, but the Chronomat isn't really a contender.

I think the poll appeared after the thread started - 5 now!

The silver dial with rose gold accents doesn't really appeal to me. The other combos that I'm not wild about are the TT and solid gold versions with anthracite dials. For me, gold just doesn't work well with anthracite, so I'm not a fan.

Now, as to all of the other models, I think they're rock solid! In terms of favorites, I think that the silver dial panda is fantastic. If I didn't already have my Airborne, that would be a real contender. Also, at least from the renderings, this one appears to truly have a silver (as opposed to white) appearance, which I think is great.

The copper dial is also very interesting. I may ultimately side with Driver in terms of wondering whether it would hold up over time once the novelty wore off. That being said, though, it is different and cool.

My ultimate winner? Probably the Bentley racing green version. I think the particular color of green is fantastic, and is set off so nicely by the red accents. Very, very tempting!

I use Tapatalk so had no idea there was a poll

Just out of interest, do you know if the Bentley Edition has a name plate riveted to the side of the case as they do with the Premier?

no, just an engraving on the caseback

I may have missed this somewhere, but I thought traditionally the in house movements were going to have a different color subdial. Does the texture on the subdial count as a different color?
