I tried on the black 40mm 3 hander and the blue 42mm chrono the other day, and the chrono is absolutely stunning in person. The black dial on the 40mm was a huge disappointment as the sunburst made it look very washed out - it'd be so much better if they went with a rich, deep, enamel black instead IMO.
But the blue on the chrono looked superb, and much nicer than the older model which could also look washed out in harsh lighting.
But as others have said above, the use of a butterfly clasp on the mesh just beggars belief. Absolute garbage as there is zero fine adjustment capability. It amazes me that while most brands (even including Chinese AliExpress micros) are almost all looking at on-the-fly micro-adjustable clasps, Breitling have decided to go backwards by about 20 years. I can just about understand butterfly clasps on sleek dress watches, but on a sports watch it makes zero sense.
