Eventually received my long awaited CSO and I waisted no time in trying it out against all three straps:


Ocean Racer
Di-Modell carbon
Original Steel

Surprisingly I've been wearing the Di-Modell most of the time for comfort and it looks great with the detailed face of the CSO.

See what you think...

1. Steel. B's and s/s bracelets are what its all about.

2. Ocean Racer. Best rubber strap on the planet. Period.

3. Di Modell. Looks great, but up against the other two, its a tough sell.

I really like the CSO.

That's kind of what I expected when I started out... but I have to say the Di-Modell is really confortable to wear.

Though for max bling the SS is a must.

And I agree the Speed Racer is the best ever.

I like the ocean racer look with the black dial and stainless bezel/case. My second choice would be the stainless steel.

Oh and your chronometer is on ;)

I'd stick with the steel, but you really can't go wrong with any of those.

I would also stick with the Steel or the OR Rubber.. that Ocean Racer is very sweet for a rubber strap.

I've got to chime in with SS bracelet first, then the Ocean racer, and the Di Modell last. While it undeniably looks good, I have a thing for original Breitling stuff at all costs.
