Have seen only a small scan on the Japan Breitling site, back in 2008 I think:

It would be nice to have one in the EU too - or even better the long awaited blue/black dial version better say "Blackeye Blue" version, like the color combo of the B01 version, or the "Gun Blue" version of the new SOHC LE version.

BTW why are no Breitling "EU limited editions" available, usually only different Japan limited editions???

Best regards from beautiful Budapest:

Because Japan is a big and rich market.
That CSO is beautiful.

It's always bugged me too, as while Bnewbie is correct about Japan, it's difficult to see how the whole of Europe couldn't be at least as big as the Japanese market.

The odd thing is I even think the Japanese website with it's "Fitting" section is better that the main (Swiss) Breitling website! :shock:

Japanese are more excentric and dedicated in any branch or activity as well as in luxury watches. Their average standard is better than in Europe.

Good to see a nice close up there as it's so easy to confuse the Chav-o-matic with the Chavitimer. :lol:

Agreed on the EU market. I wonder why 2-300 of the blue/black faced CSO could not be sold in let's say one year (the Japan LE was limited to 300 pieces).
