Here's another new one, Chronomat 44 Raven. I would have never pulled the trigger if I had t tried it on, wears much bigger than 44, and the black and orange is a killer combo! Plus the sapphire case back is crazy, the DLC oscillating weight with orange contrast lettering really finishes off the look very nicely!

Congrats Matt. Its definitely different :-)
What is the exact color of the DLC plating? I don't think its as black as PVD. I think its more like medium gray to dark gray. Am I right?

Thanks Paul, normally I would have gone with the 47mm but they don't offer a Raven. The 44mm however fits great, and the Orange on flat black looks so badass. There was a review where the author compared the color to a Porsche GT3 or something and to me it looks just as stealthy and badass.

Thanks mr_o! I really took many weeks to pull the trigger on this model, however I'm glad I did. It appears at first glance to be a lighter finish, however I think it's just the contrast of the Orange against the flat black that makes it appear brighter than normal, but I believe it's the same finish. Here's a couple more shots in better lighting. ImageImageImage

Thanks, Matt; so far it is my favorite Breitling I've seen; being a nautically oriented sort it really struck me.
