I do like this one, I really like the plaque on the side saying 1000m. Means business but is slim enough looking to have that edge and classic feel.

Honnestly, on the job, some parts are in mm, somes are in inches and it's a mess... I can guess the size of something in mm when presented to me but for something marked like 1 inch 5/8: I must have a converter...
Here's the plate of the Candino on a hairy day

I "almost" grabbed my Hammy X-Wind today (had not logged in yet to check out the daily wrist check).



...but in the end, the Superocean Steelfish X-Plus won placement on the wrist.

Hey Oscar...I was just staring at your Seawolf (with drool rag in hand), and noticed something I had never noticed before...The chapter ring is divided into 100 increments for one complete trip around the dial (don't think I've ever seen that before).  Is the purpose of this just to be able to talk in terms of 100th's of an hour or minutes?

I don't think I know of any other timepiece configured this way...but then again...I'm just a rookie.

Thanks.

Now that I think hard, I remember that I may have seen it once before... Yes, when I'm away it allways 2 weeks at a time. I'm on the green now but august will be crazy: Only one week home...
It's a hot watch: I like the yellow dial surrounded by this massive case...

I have asked the same question on a couple Breitling forums with no real answer?...your guess is as good as mine but I think it may have to do with what you said....timing within a 100th of a minute or hour...homerthinks.gif

Thanks for the reply Oscar!!!thankyou.gif

...As WIS, we tend to think about these sort of things when it comes to the design of a timepiece...very interesting.homerthinks.gif

Thanks again...I'm pretty sure this is the only timepiece I've ever seen with this type of chapter ring designation.
