Horological Meandering

Once again here I have to say: BRAVO Breitling for trying to give us exciting watches! I do prefer to see all numerals personally but really for them to include a calendar and chronograph must be applaud!

I know of some Patek with less numerals showing!

How many occluded hour markers can you tolerate or do you even care?

6 must die so the moon(phase) may live!

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the 6. -Spock

3 intact ones out of 12

ain't too bad... Cheers Marc

This hurts a little indeed

Stick indices anyone?

They'd be better off with markers at this point...

yes

Too bad they also didn't eat up the 11, 12, and 1 with the date...maybe they thought it would be too big of a difference with the Patek 5970...;-))

Exactly!

I'm really digging it overall.

I love the traditional symmetry of the triple date moon phase. Breitling has very compelling offerings this year.

Here it is ok for me. The dial remains homogeneous.

Agreed!

What about the placement of 'SWISS MADE'?

 
 By: lavrentivs : April 6th, 2021-09:09
The shortened markers for the 29 and 31 seconds / minutes track which make them indistinguishable from fractions of a second / minute is just as jarring.

I meant globally. We have seen worse.

That’s a beautiful Breitling!

I feel they've done a decent job considering the price point too...

Best, mahesh.,

The 2 versions for this model....I smell...

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : April 6th, 2021-09:45
5270R and 5270P

+1, and also the 5970 smell is quite strong...;-))

No message body

I like the overall look of the dial tbh

It's a lot of watch at the price point....
