I'm in a wristshot kind of mood and just wanted to share a quick one of my abyss to show how well it suits smaller (6.7") wrists.

I've always been put off of breitling because of the size but find the Abyss to be a perfect fit. Excuse the quality, it's a quick and dirty phone shot!

Thanks Q, I'm really enjoying it and glad to have finally found a Breitling that wears well for me.

How come no one has done a full review of the abyss? Or have I missed it?

Really really nice !! Jealous !!

Which movement did you go for?? I see Joshua is claiming it is an ETA 2824 however these have ceased production 0 i got a confirmation last night that the substitute Selita sw200 is being used...equally as good a movement though. I own other brands of watches and have both the 2824 and sw200.

Really attempted by an abyss

Mine has the bog standard movement. Just wanted to add that without any greasing or work my watch passed a 5ATM pressure test and I've been swimming, showering and bathing with it without absolutely no issues. To be waterproof straight out of the box like that is stunning for the price.

I have a smaller wrist (6.5 inch) and my yellow abyss doesn't look big...probably because of the yellow rehault making the dial appear smaller....

Which color is better, blue or white?
I've read that the white color is not exactly like the Gen.
What color is for a small wrist the better choice?

The blue is meant to look good - I'll let you know tomorrow when I finally get my hands on mine :)

All of the colours are good, you'd need a gen next to it to tell whatever colour you choose, from what ive seen black and White are closest and only the red is very slightly off.

I must say that I'm not a fan of the Abyss in pictures, but it looks so much better actually on a wrist! The black/white is definitely one of the best combinations....though I'm partial to the yellow :D

I'm "lovin" my new abyss! The rubber strap not so much. So I switched mine over to leather with yella stitching.
