Are we talking the PO with the 9300 movement?

That's actually a tough call, both are brilliant watches, the B01 movement has a slightly longer power reserve, but then the Omega 9300 movement has a more elegant finishing, the co-axial escapement, and a truly unique and innovative dial layout with both chrono hands on the same register. The Breitling has a lot of bling and polished surfaces to it, and a complicated dial, the POC is far more subtle and clean. Are you considering the black, the orange, or the blue liquid metal titanium PO?

Both choices are excellent watches, I guess the real question is do you prefer the flash of the Breitling or the subtlety of the Omega. The other hand is being a ceramic bezel watch with mainly brushed surfaces, the Omega will stand up to wear and scratches very well compared to the Breitling.

Both very good watches, Breitling have created a movement they can be proud of. However, I prefer a more understated watch (if you can call a PO Chrono understated), and like the combination of the brushed bracelet, matte dial and bezel, and AR coated crystal. That two-dial layout makes it very clean and easy to read too

Yea I was going to say lol... if you asked on the Breitling forums, they'd give you the wrong answer, so its a good thing you came here.

I like them both, there are a few of us that own both Omega's and Breitlings. On a recent trip stopping over at Heathrow I saw the new Brietling Transocean Unitime. Very nice.. My weak spot is World time watches. Wish Omega would come out with something similiar.

Yup! agree - I got a variant of the Transocean, the Chronograph LE, also powered by the B01.

Not a huge fan of Breitling, but I have to say that model is one of their cleaner looking dials.👍 Just read an article on that movement as well. Very nice piece!
