New CHRONOMAT AUTOMATIC GMT 40 is on its way

[THXuk]

Unsure of the factory, or tier level, but always good to see new models are on their way.

Looks good. Wish these were 44mm

Not sure about that first end link to the case, quite a large gap compared to the marketing photo. I do like that Blue/Yellow combo.

 

[mclarendude]

Been looking forward to these.

OMG. I will have to make space in the watchbox . Looks really nice. Not sure about the blu/yellow model. Is it a fantasy model or special edition? I don't see it on Breitling homepage.

 

[Planetdanny]

Though this watch is with an opencaseback?!

 

[aguida]

Not according to Brietling. I hope they know what they are selling

 

[Planetdanny]

Oke

 

[Thatwatchguy]

Oh my I’m watching this space, waiting on factory (quality)

I’m assuming TF or BLS so question on quality but no A7750 movement so no sunken date wheel thankfully.

Will just have to see how the rest is

 

[numero2]

too bas, it's an A2836-GMT. Not the most reliable movement.

I don't know why but there is something about this watch that really appeals to me. It is a very simple and clean design and anyway looks so good. I will really need to try it.

As I wrote before I love the blue/orange dial and I really whish it existed, but so far any attempt to find a proof of its existence have failed. Maybe Breitling had plans to produce it at some point but never did. If anybody can find any proof that the blue/orange model has been actually been produced please share. Thanks

Daaang I really like the Blue/Yellow but it's a fantasy model isn't it?

Tempting to swap my chrono 42 GF (sunken ish datewheel) to this smaller thinner model, and still enjoy the awesome bullet bracelet, but I’m skeptical it will be a better watch overall. Please prove me wrong and make this amazing. Please!

 

[Thatwatchguy]

I had the GF 42mm and it was true to size but just seemed to wear bigger on the wrist so hopefully this one comes out soon…it’s been awfully quiet on the Breitling front

Should be BLS with A2836 according to my dealer. I ordered the green one yesterday

Interesting, so is your dealer already taking orders? Did he say when expects delivery? And does your dealer have a name? He can get rigth away an order from me too. Thanks

This is great news and hopefully it’s executed well. An “addition” perhaps but I’d never part with a GF made Breity in favour of a TF or BLS unit. Also in looking at the roulleaux on the GF, there isn’t any gap between the end link and the case.

My GF chronograph is a keeper and I’ll wait to pass judgement on this new GMT release after it’s been circulated and reviewed with some hands on RWI members.

In the meantime….

Well I can't really disclose anything as this would probably be against the rules as its no "TD" here. It's more like a personal contact in asia. He doesn't know when he will get it but I think it will take a bit.
