Avenger Hurricane Cobra Yellow Dial

[Thatwatchguy]

Just saw this pop up on Trusty, assuming this is GF they should have used this date font in the Raven just released!

Will be interested to to see what material this was made from and how light it is once more details come up.

Wow that's unexpected! Hope quality is up to the GF standards.

After a careful check, it looks really good (except for the DW and the crown).
From a french speaker, no spelling mistake whether on the dial or on the back! Serial number is good too.
They'll have my order as soon as it is available.

Looks really interesting.

Dial colour also looks good, not sure about the pearl, shape looks good but waiting on video for colour.

 

[Thatwatchguy]

Damn GF it is!

About time the Wings were getting some new rep love. This looks outstanding! Definitely buying one.

I have been holding off on watch purchases lately, but this definitely has my attention. Hope they release a black dial version, the yellow just isn't speaking to me.

Very nice by GF!

Hopefully they go after the font on the date wheel. They’re using the same font as they used on the chronomat airborne.

Gen on top and rep on bottom.

The yellow on the gen is different due to the watching being in natural light.

Didn't know about this model. Breitling makes this one in 50mm also. That is a big watch.

I hope GF reps this version. I really like the black dial with a hint of yellow. Looks great with the yellow sides on the strap.

Thatwatchguy Damned, second time you beat me with a Breitling news thread this week. Lol

Don't know if I will buy this watch, it could be too big for my wrist, but I'm just happy that GF is bringing us something new. I hope that they will also rep some more 2018 breitling models. Fingers crossed!

Weird, gf has date wheels from different models that are much closer to gen. Let’s hope they fix it before the release. I do hope however that that yellow color is ok. Even because of a different light source, it seems way to orange. Fingers crossed

According to the website:

Special Polymer Case made up of Poly-carbonate & Carbon Fiber (World's first in the industry)

I’m with you on the tone of the yellow being used. I got the picture from this listing, so I’m sure it’s just the amount of light.

I think I have too much spare time

This is very unusual, I am going to wait on this Breitling till we see the finished product since my business is plastics. If it was Ti or DLC I would be ordering the watch. This is not some exotic special material. It is polycarbonate with carbon fibers = strong plastic. It is nothing more. Swatch and G-Shock just use a cheaper version of plastic. I will check on the price per kilo of this material to get an idea of how special it is.

Knowing the GF standard, the yellow will be fine, just like his metal brother...
The datawheel on the other hand, we will see but if not, it can be fixed.

Time to release the plastic guys, keep 'm coming!

Just to add my critique (which I hope they correct as I like this watch) :

The gen dial has a subtle shadow behind each white number, the rep attempts this but looking at the pics, it's not that visible.

The gen caseback appears to be smoother and the lettering is light grey or white. The rep is neither.

I hope the AR is up to gen standard and not the overly blue crap that sometimes appears.

I'd upload pics to compare but picr is down. Some live pics here though.
