Bel Canto C1 Classic

[cal14]

Great color choices
More legible hand set + roman numerals
Box sapphire crystal
Guilloché pattern
Leveled up straps

Seems like an excellent open edition! What’s your favorite dial color?

Looks great, nice variation. If i may, wish they'd darken the subdial 'arms', it would add to legibility IMHO.

Terrible Pshop below, too busy to make it look nice atm.

You are not wrong. However, this model appears to solve that. My order is in.

They Breguet'd it up quite a bit which of course catches my attention as a monster Breguet fan. I owned one of the original generation models for a minute that I just didn't connect with however I think maybe the super long wait killed it for me. I'll wait til these hit the used market down the road and maybe give it another shot.

I find my Bel Canto is a bit thick on the wrist as it is. Now they've upped the thickness just a tad more. The new version is a bit dressier looking, but the watch itself wears more like a sports watch due to its proportions. I think I'll just stick with my purple OG Bel Canto.

Did you order on the strap or bracelet? I am not sure how I feel about the looks of the bracelet on this watch.

I ordered on bracelet and added the brown strap. This is the way.

Nice. Looking forward to pics when it arrives

I had an order for a purple one. Had to cancel it. Now I’m thinking I’m glad I waited. Think I’ll place an order for Oro (gold) on the brown leather strap.

I think the Roman numerals and the whole watch look good. However, I believe that the legibility of these numbers will be close to zero, since their height will be less than or around 1 mm.

Hmmm, dunno without seeing in person. The dial is easy to read for me IF I get the center arm bits darkened. My eyes get confused when the hands are moving over those like-colored arm bits.

The blued hour/minute hands should make it much easier to read IMHO. On the purple dial version here, i've considered just having the dial's arm bits modded / darkened. Maybe even have fun with:

It really is an amazing timepiece IMHO, and the chime sound and SPL output are impressive.

I ordered the original one but cancelled the order when I saw it in person. For me it's too big and tall and mostly the case finishing feels off (too industrial).

But I can see the charm for it and I would've ordered the green one for this new batch but I'm worried that I'll be turned off by the case again.

The guilloché and Roman hours look great. I've become quite a fan of Christopher Ward.
