I think I fell in love with the latest Pilot version of the Transocean Unitime. I especially like the black dial version with brushed mesh steel bracelet, but the "stealthy", limited edition Blacksteel looks great in the press release photos as well, and it would make for a unique addition to my (small) Breitling collection, for sure. I just wish I could see photos of one worn on a wrist, because I am not sure whether all that black would work as well in the real world as it does on press release photos. I realize it is a new watch (my local dealer doesn't have any in stock), but kinda hoping a new owner here wouldn't mind posting a photo of one on his wrist? Thank you.

Oh well, I guess it's too new a model to hope for photos from owners... I took the plunge and "blind" ordered the Blacksteel version, somehow all that black looks irresistible to me and would match my leather jackets, at least through the winter. :lol: Plus, for a limited edition I got a deal too good to pass up.

Will post photos when it shows up within the next couple of days.

Thanks for the photo, but I am looking at my new baby in the flesh, it got here in 1 day... What a beauty. The black case and bracelet look like gunmetal to black, depending on ambient light. I absolutely love it, need to get the bracelet sized next.

Will do. I gotta say, the new electronic warranty "card" alone is probably worth a pictorial all by itself, how cool is that. Good luck trying to forge that one! What happens when the warranty is up in 5 years, does it self destruct? :D

Here are a few shots, including a couple next to some other "big" Breitlings I own to compare the size of the Transocean Unitime's dial. Like I said, this blacksteel watch can look gunmetal/gray to deep black on the wrist, depending on ambient light. It also feels extremely comfy on my medium sized wrist. Very happy with it, hope you enjoy the photos.
