The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Wanted to share a few pics of a watch I picked up a couple months back. I never saw any information released on this one and it never made its way onto the Breitling website either. This is a limited edition Transocean Chronograph with a Panamerican Bronze dial. There was only 100 of this model produced so it is actually rather limited. What makes this particular model unique is that it only has 2 subdials with the date window at 6 similar to the Transocean Edition and Transocean 1915 but without the vintage inspired elements of those two models. Also, this dial color is normally only found on transocean models with the rose gold bezel or case. I’m really liking the symmetry of this particular dial layout. I think it gives it a nice clean and balanced look. Only criticism I have is that I wish it didn’t have all that text on the dial. I wish it didn’t have the 3 lines of text above the date wheel as it adds unnecessary clutter to a relatively clean dial. This model looks more like the transocean 38mm models due to the 2 subdial layout and the date at 6, except this has the normal transocean 43mm case and contains the 01 movement. Overall, I think Breitling did a good job with this one.

Very nice, I happen to be very fond of the Transocean line. A great pickup! A couple of years ago Breitling produced a very similar piece in their Navitimer line, similar color and dial! Good luck with it!!

I've not seen this version before, but I like it...A LOT! I love the two subdial layout (I've always been really surprised Breitling have done this more often with the B01 movement), and best of all....no 4:30 date position!

Very nice indeed.

Beautiful! Do they offer that model with a blue dial?

Hi Driver, I agree with you on the date wheels. Never been a fan of the 4:30 position in general. Especially if the date wheel is a noticeably different color than the dial. That's why I sold my Navi 01 limited. The white date wheel bothered me. I prefer the black date wheel of the non limited edition because it blends into the dial better.

I hope they release more models and variations with the 2 sub dials because I am really liking the look.

As far as I know they only released it in the bronze color. But I don't know that for sure because I cant even find any info on the one I got except the engraving on the side and paperwork say only 100 were produced.

Love that dial, just wish the text on the bottom one read "Limited Edition"

Yes I also lost favor with 4 o'clock date wheels and crowns, hence another reason why I sold my Grand Seiko SBGE001. I prefer the more balance date windows and crowns at 3 o'clock.
