Basel Breitling

New GMT COLT:





The case, in stainless steel, measures 41.3mm. The crystal is an AR-coated sapphire and it is water resistant to 500 meters.

Movement is the automatic Breitling caliber 32 with 21 jewels and GMT complication. It is COSC-certified as a chronometer.

Beautiful watch, the design is great but the size is too small for me.

Well it's not too small for me. I think that the members should get together and donate say, oh $30 each so XMT can purchase the watch for me to critique over the next couple of years! THAT'S IT!!!! I'll make the SUPREME SACRIFICE! Definately a beauty!

All of the colt series are smaller.they started as 38 and are now upto 42mm.I have a quartz colt at 39mm.Still ticking.for bigger watches you have to go to the steelfish then the steelfish XL then the heritage 46.I think 41mm is a very good size.

Regardless of size, it is a winner!

I like it though I have mixed feelings about the bezel. No rider tabs which I thought was sort of a signature element for Breitling. Also, I'd like to have a lume pip.

The way those circles go around the outer part of the
dial is EXCELLENT !..That's a great looking bezel there
too. Overall this new Colt stays true to it's name, but
also adds a few nice upgrades as well. It's a new
Breitling and THAT'S what is cool !

Sorry, i dont like the bezel!! Just not a breitling bezel in my mind's eye! Realize things need to change but i'm just not digging this new bezel and hope they dont go screwing with any of the divers!! Nice watch and all but pains me to say this watch is just not for me!!

I really think this is a sharp watch. I love the 78 record style of the dial.
It is big enough for me too.

Maybe i'm being too picky, is that a rubber strap?

I wondered that too...

I thought the strap appeared to have the texture of smooth leather. Probably wrong though.
