Interesting concept, kinda like it, something different yet rather simple. Wish they could of squeezed a date window in the lower half and running second dial/indicator.

At least they are trying some unique aviation themed ideas.

It's different but I prefer other BR01s over this design. However, I should say that I am not a big fan of watches without hands.

BTW, the size is actually 46mm square. The same as all the BR01s.

I was afraid that it was a BR01. (i.e., the question about a smaller size). I have a BR03 Phantom and it is a perfect size for me. The BR01's look like I should start my rap music career as soon as I tried it on!! They definitely wear a lot larger (both sizes), so the larger one is off my list.

I really like that one..... apart from being PVD'd and being 46mm, because while I like 46mm watches, the square case makes them wear much bigger. And yeah, it's a million miles nicer than the Red Radar IMO.

I guess I'll be the odd man out . . . it's not my cup of tea. It's a cool idea, but I would never be able to pull off wearing it.

Hmm kinda cool dial concept, but not really my cup of tea either. I just haven't really gotten bitten by the BR brand....don't really hate 'em, but nothing in their line-up really jumps out at me.

Might look better on someone with a bigger wrist. Doesn't look quite right there.
