Breitling Transocean Chronograph GMT Watch
Breitling has expanded their Transocean Chronograph line, with the introduction of a GMT version into the range. The new Breitling Transocean Chronograph GMT makes for a practical and no-nonsense addition to this range of vintage inspired watches. The Transocean has been a successful line for Breitling, offering their well known name on watches that exhibit a more classic styling that is reminiscent of their Top Time models from the 1960's. You can see watches-dealer hands-on review of the Breitling Chronomat 44 GMT with the same movement here.The Transocean Chronograph GMT will be available in either steel or red gold and will measure 43mm wide. Buyers will have their choice of a white or black guilloche dial, but the entire production will be limited to 2000 units in steel and just 200 units in red gold. So, while the case size remains the same as the standard Transocean Chronograph, the limited edition GMT gets an upgraded dial along with its GMT functionality.The Transocean Chrono

SMP 300 Ceramic..Different shades of blue?
Hi All,Was looking around on the Omega site and noticed that the blue shades are different. One is smooth dial the other the wave pattern. Is the smooth one the 2013 version? I have a 28mm electric blue before they were discontinued. I want to get an auto in a 36mm. I don't think an AD/Dealers would have a new mid size electric blue in their cases. The new ceramic blue looks brighter. I was never a fan of the wave pattern blue..seemed too dark and flat. I also have the black wave in the 28mm too. My most favourite watch. Does the Black ceramic have the wave pattern or is flat like the blue version? Just finding the 28's a bit small. Or is it cause my eyes are older? Lets stick with the size of the watch is too small. Does anyone have a pic of the new ceramic blue dial? Either mid-size or full size? Or any comparison shots? Opinions on the new blue? Thank you kindly..J
