But I have one question....

The bezel hash marks are AGAIN a slightly contrasting color to the stainless steel. Is that due to rubber inclusions as well?

Somebody has to have the answer, as this looks like a trend.


No, it is just the picture. Old school bezel all the way.

The new auto Colt three-hander is VERY nice indeed. That's a PROPER Breitling! Just the right combination of "Breitling-busyness" with classic clean lines. Nice to see no rubber inserts in the bezel either. That's a winner right there.

The Colt Chrono is OK (for a quartz :poke: ), but again these days I don't like boxes around 4:30 date windows, or with contrasting colour date wheels - it should be as unobtrusive as possible in that position as I just think it unbalances the dial otherwise. That aside, it's another proper Breitling.

:lingsrock:

Couldn't agree more, the auto Colt three-hander looks original and just awesome! Well done Breitling.

Now let's hope that they're atleast smaller than the avenger GMT.

E: is that a GMT hand on the chrono?

That Colt auto looks seriously great! Not sold on the Chrono.... but a very big improvement over the previous...


Edit: With all this praise, I really hope I do not see a "38mm Perfect size for a LADY".... quote floating around :nana:

Different watch, Basel pieces aren't going to be on eBay for a while.

The colt is a 100% win. I have zero complaints about that.

Still expecting more "real-life" pictures about the new CSO Steelfish BEB dial.

Well you won't get a Basel release piece. They won't be at ADs until May at the absolute earliest, let alone on eBay.

Perhaps it is already available as a pre-order, because it is also present on the B4B website and the price overthere is the same as already stated (Euro. 11.440,-).
In despite I don't like the design, I like the video ad of it;

No, it is a gray market dealer at best who will take your money and hopefully deliver it in 6 months. It's not an AD, they do not have the watch. No ADs have it yet. Breitling does not do pre-orders. They aren't a micro-brand.

I find it a bit odd that they included the Breitling logo on the Colt black dial but not on the white. :?

I noticed that too on pics from TZ. I wonder if they were mockups and just didn't have the wings for the white version available (?). There should be a blue dial also, gotta have the wings on these!
