My new avenger had a black tag too.

Quick question about the bezel. Since it's rubber what are the numbers? Are they printed on the rubber or are they like inserts or what? That's the one thing that has confused me since I first saw this watch. Either way it's very awesome.



The bezel is a single stamped stainless steel piece with the numbers and markers stamped directly into it and then filled with rubber.
See it here:

In response to anybody asking about the rubber fading... ive had mine a couple of months now and there is zero fading.

BTW, the black looks awesome. I was debating black or yellow, and ultimately went with yellow, but I dont think you can go wrong either way.

I've had the blue one for about 2 months now and there is no wear or fading on the rubber bezel at all. It was my first Breitling ever and it's been a great watch so far.....I've already bought my second Breitling

I was speaking with my friend last night and he works in a Breitling AD and he was saying they have 8 on order and six are already sold. He has not yet seen one in the flesh as the first one they got in was sold within the hour!

Does this feature an in house movement and is it manufactured in the new Breitling factory?


The SOII does not have an in-house movement. It uses an ETA 2824 movement(Breitling caliber 17). The only Breitling with and in-house movement (as of yet) is the B01

@OP - Nice watch!

I've heard these are selling like hot cakes too. Very difficult to keep in stock. Sounds like Breitling might have a commercial success on their hands.
