Not sure quite what to make of that. Not hideous like some of the recent announcements, but not for me - maybe on a different strap.

perfect for ladies.

Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw the strap, but it's still pretty big at almost 45mm.

When I saw this heading on TZ, I was thinking they somehow added diamonds to it but I'm glad they didn't. I'd be curious to see the "Ice White" dial compared to white/silver dial that is available now. The strap is interesting, but not for me.

Agreed.


OK, perfect for BIG ladies.

Or... if one was getting married in a white Tuxedo
Dial may be interesting color, the white strap would seem to get a little dirty/grungy (word?) looking though.

Not going near that comment with a 10 foot pole!

I think that it would look good on a lady, but it's clearly not a ladies model so I assume that Breitling is expecting male buyers as well, and I'm not sure that I see that - but I'm also pretty sure that I am not the demographic either. Not sure how practical a white strap would be either as Kodiak suggests.

I would like to see real world pictures so that we can see the dial colour - Breitling could use a few more true white dials.

This Made Me Laugh Big Time - No Pun Intended!!!


Cheers,

A 45 mm ladies' watch.... At that point can you really call her a "lady"?


It's not my cup of tea but I think it would fit well on some Miami cocaine-kingpin's wrist. Maybe the ADs can nickname it the Scarface Breitling.

I like it. Women can easily pull off 40-42mm watches these days, so why not stepping it up a notch?

If Leryn Franco can make a 43mm -- and very thick -- Rolex DeepSea look great on her ...

... then 45mm may also work these days.

BTW, I find this watch a lot better than the previous "colorful" releases from Breitling. Not my cup of tea, but at least it's not hideous

When did Breitling enter into a partnership with Michele Watch Company? I love the direction of the new Breitling...can't wait to see the $hit they release next week.

I like it. The dial looks really good as a real white (not silver/white). Not sure I could pull off the white strap, but it would look good on a skinny chick, even at 45mm.

cool watch but not for me

Intriguing comments. Lots of stereo typing. I find it interesting that many people complain that Breitling ( Rolex too ) keep producing the same old styles, and doesn't change. When they make a few new offerings, people complain and make all kinds of comments about what direction they are going in etc etc. The manufacturers are in a lose lose situation. No matter what they produce, 1/3 of the population will bitch.
