Just got a new Seawolf ss with yellow dial and PRO II bracelet on Saturday. It is a most beautiful and fascinating watch.
It is said that in a good piece of artwork you should be able to see something new and different every time you look at it. This seems to hold true for a lot of the Breitling dials, and for me especially the yellow dial on the Seawolf.
I noticed today that the stenciled numerals on the yellow dial are silvered and not white like the other dials. They look fantastic: matching the shiny bezel ring around the side of the case, and also the frame around the markers and the date window. I remember my friend Ian pointing out the font, especially the work "Automatic" - looking gorgeous. Also, the square near the end of the second hand, which matches the sqareness of the markers, rather than using the arrow hand. The red on the hand really stands out against the yellow background.
Then I looked at the yellow Breitling box on my desk, which contains the manual, warranty and COSC Certificate. The Breitling logo and the word "Breitling" are all in the same silver as the numbers on the dial. Only on the yellow dial, mind you. I figure there must be reason for that other than good looks.
Normally, I am not a fan of dates on dials. In this case, I make an exception. The white background matches the white inside the markers, and the frame around the date window has a small bit of yellow within it, which surrounds the date, much like the matte on a picture.
Sorry this is not a better pic, but you can see all the things I am talking about:
Even the large crown on the Avenger series is ideal to me. Easy to grip and smooth to turn.
An exceptionally beautiful stainless steel case and bracelet, and the gorgeous Breitling yellow dial.
The Ultimate Breitling!!??
Cheers,
Carl
