Blue Christmas
So after a long wait, today was finally the day I've been waiting for a long time. I went back and forth on a few different models but a trip to a couple of ADs in November helped make my decision a lot easier. I thought this was the watch for me when it was announced at Basel this year but went back and forth on it. After seeing it at Yamron in Naples in November, I knew it was perfect.
One of the biggest hesitations was the mesh bracelet, but after trying it on, I couldn't believe how comfortable it actually was. I was able to wear the watch for a few hours today and now after another quick adjustment with the clasp, it fits perfect. The best part about this watch is the blue dial and bezel. Breitling does blue dials so well and it shows with this watch. The shade of blue on the bezel is perfect and I love how the blue dial changes depending on the light. The display back is a nice feature as well but I didn't get any pictures of that. I won't go on about the movement since I've had enough experience with it in my Chronomat. Enough of my rambling, here are the pics. I like the newer style box and I think the leather travel as actually feels like the leather is a better quality than previous models that I've had. |

Thanks guys! I’m really loving this after wearing it the past day. I’m looking forward to switching it up with the blue rubber strap.

Ha, I completely understand. I was on the fence about this or a few others but trying it on sealed the deal for me. I've turned into a big fan of the mesh bracelet but the rubber strap is also really comfortable. This watch was a home run for Breitling.

If that there watch came in an emerald green I'd be all over it. It would be twice the watch the green submariner hulk watch is. Fingers crossed one day they release one.
