I've always used to like the Reno LE's. The Airwolfs they made a few years back looked great, and the watch itself was in keeping with aeroplanes. Then they made a SuperOCEAN Heritage version which had absolutely nothing to do with flying at all........ and now this second SuperOCEAN! And a raspberry rubber bezel no less. :roll:

I've been hoping for a Reno B01 Navitimer, or even a Reno Chronomat 01. Either of those would've been great. Oh well (and as the now regular mantra goes when it comes to Breitling these days), there's always next year..... :?

Realistic sales expectations at least - only producing 50 of them. Nothing says air races quite like a raspberry red dive maritime watch. But let's be fair, they've only been associated with aviation for close to a hundred years so they probably couldn't think of anything more appropriate from their catalogue :roll:

Don't belch if you see a bright yellow bezel in the future. Not
a prediction, but nothing is too outlandish or unlikely today.

the chronomat 49 was a good one, and it was cheaper than the non reno for some reason

Driver, I totally agree. There are so many nice aviation related Breitlings, why a diver with a red bezel? It boggles the mind... :huh I really like the Airwolf, and agree the Navi or Chronomat would be a good choice.

Wow!! I don't get it at all.

As has been said a raspberry divers watch for an air show?

Even with horrendous models of the past few years I never dreamed Brietling would do something this bizarre.

Cheers.

And not even a proper divers' watch - fails the ISO standard because it has no bezel lume.

:yeahthat I just don't understand why they don't go with a ceramic bezel like Rolex and now Omega, and add some lume? Add an in-house movement and you've got yourself a great watch! (ref Omega POC 9300 :wink: )
