Re: Breitling's new Transocean looks similar to Top Time - P

:I'll bet this is one Breitling Mark Moss might even like, too.

I do (though I think it might benefit from some text on the Tachy scale. Me, advocating more text on a Breitling? What's the world coming to?!!). I like the Transocean too, though not on the bracelet. Breitling so rarely show any restraint in the modern designs, but their heritage shows that when they do they can get it very right.

It seems they've found their niche, and it seems to be overly busy, fussy, big and blingy watches and that's laser-targeted to be exactly the sort of thing that doesn't appeal to me. I guess "Top Time" just doesn't fit in with their preferred (aero)nautical theme, so a watch that could quite rightly be called Top Time gets called Transocean instead. That may be preferable than calling a watch with an external bezel a Carrera when I think about it...
