Hey All,

I am new the forum, but have been drooling over getting a Breitling for many years. Well, the time has come to pull the trigger.

I have read many posts on here before posting and have received great information.

My question, what is the difference between the following Chrono Evo models:

A1335611-G5-357A
A1335611-G5-444
A1335611-A5-300A

I know the first two list the dial color as silver and third as mother of pearl. I ask because, I am thinking about some of the websites you mention here, Jomashop or authenticwatches and they have these models listed. What I am really looking for is the "silver dials and silver subdials, What is the mother of pearl dial??

Thanks for all the help,
Soon to be owner.

My research (based on visiting sites like those you mention) into reference numbers has found dials listed as
A5 = White or White/MOP
G5 = White or Silver or Ivory

According to this site, strap references are...
357A = Pilot Bracelet - 22-20
444X = Brown Leather Strap - Cowhide, 24-20, Deployant
300A = Pilot Bracelet - 20-18

? Why different strap sizes for the same watch?

Visit Breitling Japan to try out the different dial combinations. http://www.breitling.co.jp/fitting/

Thanks for a quick reply...I guess that is why I got confused. Online, the 444 model is shown with a silver steel pilot bracelet, not brown leather, could be website error.

Also, I can diffentiate the difference between the silver or mother of pearl..at least online, they both look white with silver subdials.

btw, thanks for the link.

Ok, so I am going to answer my own post. I just got off the phone with a autorized seller here in Los Angeles and got some info.

I guess this is only a partial answer....

The EVO has two versions for silver, one is "silver" and the other he referenced as "irodium". Then the mother of pearl has the pearl iridescent finish.

I said partial answer, b/c I don't know which model number matches with them. If I get them, I will update.

I don't think you would confuse rhodium dial with a silver dial in real life - obviously pictures can be misleading.

Silver in Breitling speak is white, where as the rhodium dial is definitely a grey colour.

I still don't understand the different size pilots.

It has to be a mistake.
