It's a matter of taste!

I think the Blue is a great summer's day watch, but the Black is really classy as a suit or evening piece....but it's all down to personal preference.

Your personal preference

I think the Chrono is more classic, a Breitling chronograph - it's what they have always done best. Colourwise, black. although the blue looks good, a black one is more...timeless.

I think all three colours are outstanding! Especially with the mesh bracelet. I like the OR or Diver Pro on the black, but not on the bronze or blue.
Anyway, my favourite is the SOH Chrono or SOH 46 with the black dial and the mesh bracelet. I think the 46 is the more classic look, as well as the 38mm. I just find the 38mm too small, even if they had made is 41mm like the Colt would have been better. But I guess they have a market for that as well.
Cheers,
Carl

I really must say that I like the bronze dial... my AD has one, and I look at it every time I visit him.
Seems like noone is picking it up, strange but true. Might be that it is currently displayed on a "chocolate-bar OR", which makes it look a bit cheap IMHO, well maybe not to me who is a total freak about the brand, but to a new potential customer.
Mesh is the way to go on that one.

Unless maybe you have a nice tan, that will go along with it... maybe as a "summerstrap"? Just rambling here...

Personally - and I know, that this isn't the taste of the majority here - love the bronze SOH38 with rubber strap. This one is still on my wish list.

Thanks a lot, Roff! Although this one seems to be called a "unisex model", I am totally in love with it as a casual everyday's watch for myself (I am definitely male / 6.75 wrist!). For me, this is the perfect casual watch with a bit of "chocolate bling".

Thank you for posting this!!!
