Hey all,

I was thinking about the diamond-encrusted bezels you can get. Do these just snap on, or is there some sort of disassembly involved?

The reason I ask is because I really, REALLY like the SuperOcean Heritage Chrono bezel, but I like the regular superocean chrono watch as a whole...

Are bezels interchangeable?

Thanks for any info,
-Ben

Some are designed to be pressed on, others utilize the same screws and mount same way your current one does.

SUperocean Chrono and Heritage are completely different sizes. So, no, they wont fit.

I'm pretty sure all current Breitling models (except the Navi range) are secured with screws. I'm trying to think of one that isn't and I've drawn a blank.

In terms of swapping bezels around, not only do you have the diameter issue, you may also have height issue too. You may find one that fits more than one model, but it'll be more luck than judgement.

Yes, I noticed the different size diameters. I was just wondering about the feasibility of swapping bezels of the same diameter.

However, I think Driver8 answered my question. It looks like they were not intended to be swapped out. Too bad!

Thanks!
