Not a rep but I thought folks might enjoy seeing this. I'm unaware if any kind of rep is available but would be keen to know.

Tried this beauty on at a Breitling store in KL tonight.

To me it's stunning. The composite material was a shock, as was the weight. So light.

The quality is superb and the strap was a thing of real beauty.

Some rumors say that GF is going to make this one in 45mm. On watchbus there is a thread where the new SOH II in 42mm and the Hurricane in 45mm are shown. Seems to be interesting what there will be in the future. 2017 will going to be a great year!

I've hunted for this watch but no one is making it yet. I want one, not the yellow, but a blk dial.. Composite or Titanium?

we have to be patient, GF is going to make it. And I think that if they repped the yellow dial the black one comes as well.
It's an easy watch to rep beside the carbon composite, but if the do it like V6 or JF with them forged carbon AP's or Carbotech PAM it will be a great rep.

Agreed. That Watch would be a lightweight slick beast, in that case. A masterpiece of a rep.

Still going to have sunken dw on both if they use the 7750 and a working 30 min sub at 3. 12 hour version uses the B01 movt. So subs spacing will be off. 24 hr version uses new B12 movt. so not sure whether subs will be an issue for that if repped.

I'd buy it the first day it hits the market.

Do we know what is the exact composition of this watch (carbon fiber, ceramic etc.)?

It's a hybrid material but I don't know what. It is far too light to have any ceramic.

ablogtowatch said recently "carbon composite" but some say it's just a polymer composite... I hope they aren't going to use the same material as on those chunky plastic RMs...
important thing is to create a powder coated like carbon surface as on the gen...

I'd love to see this rep. There are some similar looking Super Avenger Blacksteel reps with a 24H face, but the movement is only 12H which is pointless.

I dont see why it wouldn't be super easy for factories to make it with the 24h movement. Just use the GMT module that is native to the 7750 and size the hand accordingly. And then just don't use the normal hour hand. It's not like they need to modify anything...

They will put a damm 7750 in it. I'd rather see them put a Seiko VK in it. But I'll settle with what ever they do, it's beautiful.

Does the hour hand rotate once in 24 hours, or is it 12H movement on a 24H face?

It's a 12H movement, so.. Sorry it's not according to spec I'm afraid...
And the weight is really heavy....

I purchased two 24H military faced Breitling reps. The first time I just assumed the watch had 24H movement. The second time the dealer told me it was 24H movement but it wasn't. As far as I know, there are no 24H movement watches out there. I agree with Eag3, doesn't seem like it would be too hard because there are 7750 GMT watches out there, they could just use the GMT hand as the hour hand, but doesn't seem like any factory has done it. Gorgeous watch though.

I was just getting ready to ask if there were any 24 hour face Breitling reps out there. Is there any way to make these rep movements 24 hour?

Use the GMT module for your hour hand. It runs natively on the 7750 and is 24h

Can that be done in an A7750 or only Swiss one?
If I switched to swiss 7750 I would need gen hands, not sure how hard they are to get for a Breitling, IWC ones I bought were big $$$
