How would you compare this to the โMonte Carloโ chrono released many years ago? I have not seen this in real life yet, but it looks symmetrical and balanced.
There are two main differences IMO: one is the case design, this one wears flatter and is also slightly thinner, so it doesn't feel as bulky as the MC. The other is the movement. This one uses the Breitling B01 with certain improvements and is integrated with a column wheel and a 70hr. PR. An all-around excellent movement IMO. The MC does not feel as comfortable on my wrist and is fitted with an ETA 2892 based modular movement. One thing that really irked me with that movement is the jumping min
It looks "rubberized" instead of all rubber... AP used to make those for the Offshores, but over time they would wear a bit quicker than others.
The specs are wonderful. I wish they produced a blackbay diving chrono with a rotating bezel.
