It'll come on the same bracelet as the Chronomat B01 most likely.

Looks great. That dial color is amazing.

Looks like we have a consensus here. Lets hope Breitling continues to bring out more models we all like this year.

Well, I'll be a sort of naysayer. I already said earlier that I think this new model is a step in the right direction. That said, it's still a tweak of a basic design that is far from my favorite. While I no longer hate the B01, I still don't like it or its progeny as well as what came before it. I'd be happier seeing a move away from the B01 look, rather than a refining of it.

Interesting evolution and for that they needed a new bezel to differenciate it from the current B01 range. Much more sensible size, too. For me, the jury's still out but it definitely is much better than recent novelties.

Well sure, I agree with this. But I don't see a course correction happening anytime soon. So given what Breitling has chosen to go with, this one is surprisingly nice looking to me.

I agree, it's big but not ridicliously big. It's different, but not 'colt-like' different. It's definitely a step in the right direction, I actually like it a lot. If it's brushed then I think it's going to be a very good seller. If they would change the font on the bezel then it would be really really great looking.

I'm guessing just the bezel is brushed from the pic, rather rendering. We'll see.

I'm a little surprised at how positive the reaction has been to be honest. For me it's simply 'less bad', but the font, albeit toned down and brushed would still prevent me from buying it.

Well I think it'll definitely be more wearable than the "super-size-me" 47mm version.... and that alone makes it more in keeping with the Windrider range (if it still existed of course!). And I certainly don't think it's too bad looking at all, but the bezel font is still a polariser, and a deal-breaker for me.

But it's still amazing how much of an improvement the brushed bezel is.

I think the GMT bezel works as opposed to the dive style bezel on the 47mm version. I just don't see what's so bad about this model and I don't understand why you would question the positivity around this one. It's not 'less bad,' it's a nice look piece, bezel font aside, I can't hate on this one like all of their previous releases.

I didn't, I said that it surprised me, I didn't question it in the slightest. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion (even me!), I just wasn't expecting as many opinions to be as positive as they are.



I never said it was, I said For me it's simply 'less bad' - opinion, not fact.

I'm with the "not as bad" crowd. Further, I'd prefer more useful numbers on the bezel.

I'm glad to hear that Jackson. I'll give you some more time for you to start liking it.

I don't know if I'll ever get past the square on the dial of the BO1/BO4

Can't disagree. And you can't get romans on the GMT to play down the "square" effect.
