I like that, I have been waiting some time for Breitling to sort out their bezel, I find the normal ones a little fussy... not sure on the font of the numerals though...

It's a big watch - 43.5mm - I have stayed away from Breitling because they have gotten so big and heavy. This baby comes in about a dozen dial colors, some very neat looking. I just wish it was 40 - 42mm

IMO that's a very modern and trendy looking watch.

I like the look better than other Breitlings, but I'm surprised that there are literally 3 different fonts of numerals...bezel font, subdial font, and date window font all have different style numerals.

Sick. The new bezel gives it a whole new look.

The bezel font is catching a lot of grief on the Breitling forums. Being compared to 1980's cheap printer font. I agree that everything looks good but the date font and subdial fonts should at least match.

I'm not feeling the bezel font. Too "Space oddesy" (how the hell do you spell that word!) for me

+1 the font is a little to big for my taste. I like the new Blackbird.

I think it's spell Odyssey.
