That was a short run for the previous edition. Not sure I like the Tiffany dial fad but that one looks sharp, may pick up the Kelly slater version, I've always wanted an orange diver. I hate to spew the typical hodinkee comments but it seems kind of expensive for what you get, but I suppose everything is more expensive these days.

I actually like what Breitling did here. Something fun and something that doesn't look like every dive watch out there, while keeping with their history. I also enjoy the seconds hand and the lack of a counter weight.
Georges Kern has done some amazing things while at the helm of Breitling, and I am happy with the releases and redesigns he has undertaken. |

@Panos @Michael
Thanks guys, I am very exited. It was a sort of battle at the store to get it. It was crazy but I won. A picture I posted earlier in the WRUW thread but fits here as well.

I've got the orange one on order - love what Breitling has done with these (and the new Navitimers)

They look great and wear super comfortably. The 44 wears like a comfortable 42, and they’re nice and slim.
I like the blue one the best, I’m considering picking one up just because it’s so damn weird and fun. I don’t have anything remotely like it in my collection. |

Thinness. And the adjustable clasp is sweet, better than Omega’s.

Really, really like the look of these. But there’s no way I’m coming to terms with the cost and that movement with the most meagre of power reserves.

The price is in the build quality and finish. It's a fun summer watch and it serves its intend perfectly for me. Would have liked a date but agree the design is better without it.

The watch felt great, though, and I really liked the strap. Perfect casual watch. I now have the 44mm on order.

Breitling still haven't managed to come up with their own 3 hander despite it being 13 years since they introduced the excellent B01. All very odd.

Agree completely with that last comment but still bought it. The feel and look on the wrist is just too good.

Could be. I'm no expert, but I assume when a watch manufacturer talks about dial diameter, they mean the dial itself -- that is, not including the bezel. In that case, I struggle to see how a 41mm Sub date looks so much larger than a 42mm Breitling Superocean when the lug-to-lug dimensions are nearly identical (off by .1 mm). I guess it's possible the bezel size makes the difference, but that seems unlikely ....

I never thought that I would be happy with a no date watch and a banal caliber. And yet I very much am.
