Saw the thread asking where all the new models are so I figured I'd throw mine out here. I had a Colt A17350 for years but felt it was too small for my 7 3/4" wrist. I was going for a cream dial Steelfish but called a few ADs to see if they had the SO44 in blue or orange. Went to my local AD and they had a blue dial SOSF and a black & orange new chrono. When I saw the black & orange combo I knew it was the combo for me. The crazy part is one of the ADs I had been working with, who initially told me they only had the new watch in yellow and red, called back and said the red one was actually orange. With that, I made my first purchase of a brand new Breitling earlier this month.

So, here's the new Superocean 44:

Here's a pic on a black PVD NATO and an orange stitched & perf'd leather strap. Bracelet coming in Monday.

I love the look of the NATO on this one but the watch head is really too heavy for that setup.

WOW putting this watch on the bracelet was fantastic! I now feel it is an entirely worthy replacement for the Planet Ocean I sold. Glad I got that bracelet!

Very nice watch and pictures. Where did you buy the leather strap with orange stitching?
