As a new owner of a Breitling Aerospace with co-pilot I have been really impressed by the clarity of the watch face under all light conditions. I find myself looking at it rather too often at the moment (!) but I notice how resistant the main watch face is to reflection - almost as if the glass is not there at all. Brilliant. No so however, the co-pilot display which whilst I wouldn't say it is difficult to read, you do need to look at it straight-on otherwise the reflections on the glass are all to noticeable. Does anyone else have a co-pilot and notice this? Does the co-pilot module not have the same non-reflective coatings as the main watch face?

The Co-Pilot is covered with sapphire glass with AR coating on both sides, just the same as the dial.

Don't have a CP so can't comment on it's reflections.

I also am amazed with the anti glare coating they apply. It really is just amazing. I often keep looking at my breitlings from different angles as well.
