The original:

Mine:
Here we have a 38, 5 mm case, an ETA movement. a concave bezel, and a domed plexy.
And now, the re editions:
THE LE in black, 250 pieces:
Curiously, Breitling decided to launch a new limited edition of the " Rainbow " Superocean Heritage 57 in blue... 1000 pieces. The collector who decided to go for the black version will certainly... " Appreciate ".
And the non limited editions:
A last family picture:
Here we have a 42 mm case, 9, 99 mm high. The proportions are good even if I would have preferred a less big case. We still have the concave bezel, but the plexy has been changed for a sapphire glass.
Beating inside is an ETA / Sellita automatic movement, with a power reserve of 42 hours.
The non limited editions are serious watches, for sure. But the big question, for me, is to know what to think about the " Rainbow " limited editions. As an owner of the vintage, I have been surprised, to say the least, by the Rainbow. But on second thought, why not, after all? Why not a bot of madness? Still not very sure about my feelings on that one, and I have to see it in the real life to have a definitive feeling and judgement.
Uber cool ala rolex Daytona platinum, or a sacrilege?
Best,
