Is the inner dial part of the bezel or the face? How big is the actual face in the 42 or 44 models?

This watch has made me come into this sub forum for the first time haha! So is this a Tudor movement?

I didn’t like them from the press release photos. I then saw them in the window of the Breitling boutique in Edinburgh and have to say I now think they look outstanding.

I had the opportunity Friday to try on the new SO slow motion and the new avenger GMT. Both very nice looking watches.
I was hoping to see a new movement in the new models as I'm a HUGE fan of Breitling. Nope, same old 38 hr Sellita. ZERO magnetic resistance. I love the older ETA versions much better. Hard for me to spend $4600 or even $250 on anything with a Sellita under the hood. I will wait until Breitling starts installing a quality 3 hand movement in all there watches. Then I will be sure to give them my attention once again.

Back @ home from a fantastic holiday in Germany. Now I can swap watches but still this one on the wrist. A 'big motor' is not always needed to enjoy a watch. This one is proof of that. What a top watch.

Breitling has not been able to source a top grade ETA in years. They have been replaced by Sellita sw200-1. Sad to say.

Who cares about a (chronometer) caliber if a watch looks as good as this one and is finished to a top level. I can't find any cut corners, even the bezel play is similar to Blancpain . Seriously, I never thought I would have a Sellita watch in my collection but with this watch I just don't care, it's just too good overall.

I had the opportunity to see the 44 and 42mm in person today. I was really looking forward to getting the Bronze-Brown model. To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. The large circle around the dial makes the watch look tiny, in my opinion. If I didn't know better, I would have said the 44 was a 40 and the 42 was a 38mm. Between the illusion created by the circle on the dial and the case being quite thin for a 44mm dive watch, it just didn't have much "presence" on the wrist. I asked my wife what she thought, as I had it on my wrist, and she says, "eh, it's not all that"
By no means do I intend any disrespect to those who have purchased it and love it, that's great. I guess I just like slightly larger watches. I happen to be wearing my IWC Bronze Aquatimer at the time, and it seemed like a tank compared to the Breitling; maybe I should have worn a smaller watch today! I still really like the pictures on the bronze Super Ocean, I'll give it another shot when they finally release that one. I'm told October. |

To me this without a doubt "the watch" of 2022. It has a superb look, top finish and has enough controversial things to get the traditionalists out of their cave to write how much they dislike it. Always a good thing as there is no such thing as bad publicity.
I have worn it for 2 weeks now and although I have much more expensive watches I can't seem to take it of. Its such a great summer, holiday watch.

Have been going back and forth between the 42 (Silver) and 44 (Turquoise).
It appears to me that the 2mm size difference between the two is taken up by the chapter ring and case, but the size of the dial is exactly the same. Curious if others might know or can comment. Leaning towards the silver because it blends with the white chapter dial and the entire face looks bigger. |

My main gripe is the PCL treatment on bracelets.

Really like the look of the silver and find it more aesthetically pleasing and simpler to read than any colored version at 44. Agreed about wishing they had a 44 Silver. |

Congratulations !
I think this new SO is a stunner. In any color scheme. After over a month I am still as happy as the day I got it. Beside missing a date it's just perfect for me. Enjoy!

Just wanted to say I didn't like the looks of this watch online, but saw it in-person today and the green one really pops imo
