Skyracer Raven is the same as the ordinary one.


Looks like it, but for some reason the bezel looks less chunky and a little bit better to me.

I don't know, it looks same to me. :D

Nice find Altair.

Really like the 125e Navitimer dial although still want to see the bracelet in person.
Also like the Chrono-Matic QP and Skyracer Raven.

I think the 125e is slick. I just need to warm up to the bracelet a shade more, but it's an interesting statement piece.

That Skyracer Raven appears to have some sort of Co-Pilot/UTC module in the bracelet. It might just be the regular new Co-Pilot.
Is that what makes the Raven model different?

The Air Wolf Raven's bezel looks like the one found on many TAG :x

I think youre right. Im comparing them side by side, and cant see a single difference, but it still looks different :?

It looks thinner for some reason.

Good find Altair.

I am as disappointed this year as the last year that Breitling doesn't update their website with the news. They still display the Navitimer 125 as the only "New in 2009" - one would think they really quickly would put at least the Chronomat B01 there too, but no.

I still don't like the new Chronomat B01, I do like the blue/black dial and also the brown (if that would be available without the roman numerals - I think they look squashed) but I can't get over the bezel. Even the font on the bezel could be somewhat acceptable but without the minute markers it has no function anymore, just fashion. I don't like the black bezels for the Airwolf and Skyracer either, but in my opinion they at least have a red thread with them and the Chronomat B01 bezel. Is a merge with Tag happening soon?

The Chrono-Matics are looking good dial-wise, but I miss the left hand crown. It would also be interesting to know the measurements on them. Building on the CM49 or the regular one?

For the Motors and 6.75, I like the GMT-like subdials but apart from that and the "Swiss made" on the dial (and the color change on the second markings for the chronograph on the Motors) is there something else I'm missing?

Actually, that's a very observant point. I totally missed that--does seem to have some sort of co-pilot-like module in the bracelet. Would like to see more of this! (even if I have no interest in that watch itself)

Nope you're not missing anything Aleister - the Motors (and 6.75) Speed models are essential the same as the existing ones. Which explains why they look so damn good! :roll: Essentially they just seem to be dial revisions (although that Motors Speed looks brushed in that picture, like the Motors T).

Like I said above if they'd made that Motors Speed with the B01 in it, it would've been a must buy for me. But as it is, it's just another Motors...... :|

That's a little more encouraging than we had seen.

I like the Chrono-matics, but they still have the crown on the wrong side.

Not sure about the Ravens yet.


i saw a crono matic at an AD in Belgium and have to say thata the bezel realy looked cheap en rubbery.

I do not understand "Chronomat B02". I thought B01 was the designation of the new Breitling in house movement. That being the case B02 would indicate a different new movement. What am I missing?

It does look like the same bezel as the regular Chrono-matic 49 - which would be rubber.

A QP with a rubber bezel - not sure about that.
