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!
