New Breitling Transocean Chrono line

And here I thought I was done with Breitling with all their strange squares on the dial, and non-flat bezel rings, then they go and release this:



More at http://watch-happening.blogspot.com/...ransocean.html

I can totally see myself getting on of these! Well done Breitling!

Some more tech details:

- 43mm case
- 47 jewels
- 70 hrs power reserve
- 28,800 v.p.h.
- slightly convex sapphire crystal, AR coated on both sides

I like it, very understated in comparison with the rest of the Breitling line.

The in-house movement is also a BIG plus on this one!

Thanks for the post

Looks nice I'm just not a big fan of the bracelet! Would like to see it with a nice leather one or rubber.
Thanks for posting!!

All you have to do is buy one and change out the bracelet. I'm sure it comes with a rubber or leather strap as well, just like its cousin, the Superocean Heritage.

Neat.

I like how the inner tach starts at 1000kph while other manufacturers start at about 500 or 300kph. Breitling's aeronautic heritage still crept into this design.

Everyone be happy!

MSRP will be $7,400 on the mesh and $6,885 on leather. Availability in March 2011.

Add some discount - and I think you can get a very nice in-house movement chrono will classic good looks for around $5,000 - and that is for a limited edition with display back! Tempting!

Something like this would work for me:

Throwback to the old Wakmann days. I like, but would probably go for something else in that price range.

I was really liking it until someone mentioned the price.

Nice watch but out of price range unfortunately.

Cheers

Are these available yet and do anybody know the price ? I really like the white faced gold and brown leather strap.
I plan on adding to my collection this year and this may be the one !

That is a beautiful watch and I love the mesh bracelet. Only problem is that 43mm is a bit on the big size for me.

can't wait to see this in person!! i think measurement of the size aren't as accurate as really putting one on in the flesh and seeing how it fits! hope this one will be a winner!
