Post subject: | Superocean Chrono (Black or white dial) |
Hi. I am about to purchase my 2nd ling. (first one being standard Navitimer), have decided to buy a Superocean Chrono but having trouble deciding whether to have the black or white dial? I am going for the profesional bracelet. I would be interested to hear any comments on choice from guys that have experienced a simular dilema. I know it's subjective but we all face these decissions where you are not sure of your own mind!! Frustrating. |

Like you say it's subjective. They will look different so you need to see them on your wrist. It would be the white dial for me right now simply because I have more dark dials. |

Like Roff said, you have to try them on. The White dial sometimes has a stronger presence then a black dial. I have all Black dials only because I havent found a White dialed watch that called to me. What color is Navitimer? Mac |

I would suggest the white. Mostly because you can put any strap on it and it works. The Black limits you. I agree that the white has more presence. White tends to look bigger on the wrist. I have always liked the SOC white dial with blue subs. Like the guys said, try them on you will know after seeing them. Either way you will have a great watch! Best, Mark |

Thanks for the replies guys, in answer to the question, my Navi has a black dial. There is something about the White dial Superocean that is calling me, but I tend to like black dial watches. You make a very good point when you say the the white dial has more presence........maybe I should toss a coin to decide eh! |

I have a black dial AS and I´ve had two other pieces on my mind. I´ve thought for a while now that next I would get a Navitimer and then a white (or silver) dialed Aeromarine (haven´t decided which yet). Recently though I´ve been thinking to first get the white dialed Aeromarine first since I´d have to wait "too" long to get the Navitimer. A white dialed watch has a lot of presence, it´s much more eye cathing and does wear significanty bigger than a black one. I want the white one for occasions that call for more blingy appearance. I want that my watches will be significantly different with each other in look, style and attitude so they´ll each have their time and place. So I´ll follow the guys and say it´s very subjective. All depends what your looking for. If you want more variation and show go for the white (since you allready have a black dialed piece). If you want a more "ordinary" and less noticeable Ling then it´s black. If one is calling more then go for that one and forget all this mumbling! ![]() |

I have the blue dial one, mostly on ProII. and love this combo. White dial is nice, but legibility is better on the black or the blue dial. I hope sooner or later Breitling will bring to the market a "Blackeye Blue" as they call the blue dial with black sub-dials and date disc combo on the new Chronomat B01. This would be a clear winner! BTW IMHO a Breitling must be blue ![]() Best regards and keep in mind: any dial you choose, can't go wrong with the CSO. Regards: Robertus |

You are all wrong. It is NOT subjective. Get the white one. ![]() I love the white-dial chrono SO. It's one that's been on my (ever shifting) list for a while now. I find it to be one of the best dials with a brown leather strap, it just looks so sharp. It also looks great on the bracelet. This combo is one of the few I have seen out "out in the wild" and it caught my eye right away. |

I got this watch in December in black and love it. Classy look and can be dressed up or down. I think you'll be happy with either one, but the black is going to have a classier look. To me, the white is too loud and for someone looking to have it noticed. Nothing against that, just my personal opinion. |
