I've been controversial on this and said "All are hideous!"

HOWEVER, I have no problem at all with the watch heads (the SOH is OK, and I really like the SOHC) : I am only saying that I don't like them on the mesh. The only watch that I think looks OK on mesh is the Photoshop mock-up I did of a Navi World on mesh...... and that's because of the old vintage 806 connection.

If I was in the market for any of these, it'd definitely be the SOHC in black on black croco. I might also consider a bronze SOHC on brown croco (if I could get it to be a vaguely close match to the dial), but that's it for me.

Black Chrono on Mesh, looks superb and so classy in the flesh, the brochure does not do it justice.

Love my Black SOH on black croc. Had the bronze on brown calf and sold it. I ordered it sight unseen last year when they were first available. It got old fast.

A few others too.

I voted black, because I do think it looks the best on mesh. But I don't think I would put this watch on a mesh myself, and don't think that black would be my personal choice.

I hear you all, mesh is a marmite type thing, no halfway, either love or loath
my reason for blue choice is my seadweller is too like the black one and You know I have no colour taste after co-founding the coral club

anyway, if the gods of affluence and luck smile on me , I'll be sporting a black and steel Aquanaut one day!


one thing is true though....don't fancy a brown one!

I had to vote all are hideous (ON THE MESH). Now on leather or rubber, thats a whole different story. If our LE doesnt end up with the SOHC, I will definitely be getting either the SOH or the SOHC but on leather croc.

Blue chrono on mesh - but I won't buy it until a smaller version (say 40 mm) with day-date isn't available.
A "normal" steel bracelet (either Navi, Pilot or ProII) would be also fine for this watch though...

I voted for the black chrono, though like others I really haven't warmed up to the mesh just yet

Mesh is very fine and the Breitling mesh is extremely fine - adjustable as no other mesh on the market. I've bought the 20 mm just to use for other watches: my CSO, my Chrono Cockpit or my Sinn 103 St Sa best is the Sinn for this mesh regarding style. But the original Superocean in the fifties was also available with a mesh bracelet so this is authentic in style. However a double-push-button clasp (like that of the Ocean Racer) with divers extension link would be much preferable.

Black SOH - NOT CHRONO - classic appeal...

I have the SOHC in black, with a black croc on deployment.... Its killer! and I cant stop staring at it............The mesh looked way to big for me. The strap makes the watch look smaller.
