The first 20 minutes are often marked differently on a dive watch, but usually on the bezel.
20 minutes is the no decompression time at 30m on air, but I don't know if that's the actual reason or a coincidence and the reason is something else.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I believe the ‘big’ sales are usually just after Christmas and one around June time (I think). Few other smaller sales throughout the year though and always a £100 or £50 off voucher available depending on how much you spend. If you are after one it’s worth checking the site periodically but my advice would be to never pay full retail.
So would I. I can’t decide whether I really like it or not. But with 60/60 may be worth a look

I suspect you are correct but if there is one thing I don't like on my blue one it is the lume colour difference. It even shines less in the dark. Sent from my SM-N960F using TZ-UK mobile app
It was the 60/60 thing that drew me in, never even considered a CW before but loved this as soon as it came out. I’ll maybe do a mini review when it turns up.

I read often about the misaligned text, is there an example somewhere of this?
The idea of marking the fixed markers differently does seem a bit counterintuitive - I can't recall if they made a point about this in the blurb in their magazine - I often just throw it away without reading it, but I did read about the Super Compressor because it seemed an interesting watch, but I don't have it any more.
Perhaps someone else still has a copy and could check?

There you go, the red text is not central to the white.

You made me think and realised I have a copy so I've just read the whole article and I can't see any mention about the lume markings.
It's not a killer for me but I do find it a bit odd. Especially as it's not as bright as the other marking where as I would of thought that if anything it would of been better the markings being the other way around if it was indeed to aid the diver. Sent from my SM-N960F using TZ-UK mobile app
