There is an anti reflektive coating on the top either: Like the cheabest AR coating on spectacle lenses. You can see that reflections of white lights appear a bit pink and not white like it is with usual glass. Breitlings do have a much more effective coating that reduces glare to the very minimum -- very beautiful if crystal is clean. The coating does not work if itīs dirty so fingerprints schow reflections the clean parts donīt.
