I like these, not usually a Breitling fan.

Not seen these before, I like the orange and blue.
Very nice looking watch. It will wear large though
It looks to me like they've found those hands in a random parts box. Shame as I've liked most of their recent releases.
Look like Zodiac watches
Nice. Makes a change from the cluttered dial offerings they usually churn out.

Wow! that’s a great release be good to see one in the flesh

That’s is pretty revolting. The size of the inner chapter ring makes the deepsea look normal.
I quite like the bronze and green version, but yes the inner chapter ring is certainly on the large size.

Yeah it's like someone took some concept art literally, quite bizarreQuote:

Nice to see them trying something different. Even like the wacky handset.
I prefer the old design.
looks very rolex YM2 to me...
Usually love bashing Breitling but that’s a nice watch.
They seem to be stepping it up recently.
I think some of the colours look ok but it just makes me think of Zodiac in terms of the design and Doxa with the colours. Quite expensive too - on a bracelet, it's £800 more than a Black Bay Pro. Having said that, I'd imagine it will be closer in price after discounting. I think some of Breitling's recent releases have been nice (1959 Navitimer, Cosmonaute, Superocean Heritage 57) but I'm not sure about this one.
I also think they missed a trick with the distribution of sizes. Could do with one around 40mm. It's 36, 42, 44, 46mm which seems a bit unevenly spread. I do quite like the orange dial, green strap version though...
Nice design overall but I couldn't live with that minute hand.
I'm on the fence with it. I liked the old version, just wanted a no date version really.
With this one I'm not sure on the bezel, I think they need to lose the minute markers for a more cohesive design. Also as with the ne Navi, my favourite colour options are in the sizes I wouldn't wear. I think they will look better in shops than these photos though, as most of their recent releases have.
It kinda looks a bit microbrand to me, it doesn't really, sit coherently in the range. On its own, a nice looking watch, but doesn't really say Breitling to me
The dial is a bit small for the case.
Think the dial looks comically small to be honest.
Definitely a mashup of Doxa, Deepsea and Aquatimer.
I want to like it but the polished bits put me off.

I didn’t really know what to think about the new designs but that is the best looking bronze watch I’ve seen in a long while.Quote:

Looks like something a team has assembled in the dark. Or a Namoki mod.
I think this makes the old superocean more attractive, and I'm sure soon you'll see the high street dealers knocking them out on discount
I quite like it.
It reminds me of those vintage models which is good IMO.
Reminds me of a Christopher Ward Trident 1000 Elite. It will be 5 times the price of that I am sureQuote:

I tried on the new model this week and it left me underwhelmed. The polished bracelet links look confused on a tool watch, the double minute track is weird and as mentioned previously I’d need a magnifying glass to read the hands.
On the plus side it feels built like a tank and the crystal/AR is tremendous.
Don't like that at all, inner ring is way too big, hour hand is poor. Which are both a shame, as the dial is cleaner than most Breitlings and is very nice, could have been a nice looking watch with a few tweaks.
It’s a No from me , but I love what Breitling have done to their brand lately.
The new CEO has really re-invented Breitling, I follow him on Instagram and he has great presence.
I like these, they have a bit of a retro look.
I can appreciate why they've done the outsized minute track as a nod to the past, but I can't help but think these would have been that bit more special if they'd done them with the actual Slow Time single hand chronograph to make use of the dial.
Agreed and I hope the chrono version with slow hand will followQuote:
