I am liking the design of this new Triton 2000m quite well.

The thing that I think has thrown me off a bit (and I may still be trying to put my finger on it), on these new Debaufre dial designs is the Debaufre "Sun" on the dials above the Debaufre name and some of the additional dial circles (with contrasting textures). 

I think that I may be interpreting these dial designs as visually "less classic" and more "fashion watch" in design, but at the same time I think it may have something to do with the graphics I am looking at.  I would love to see some true to life shots under outdoor lighting as I know that these Debaufre designs always have more of an impact in real life (I know that I appreciated my Csar even more in person!!!hand6.gif).

The different hand set that Debaufre is using on these new ones is starting to grow on me.hand6.gif

I will keep looking at these though...I do know that I really like the Debaufre brand...they are a tremendous value for the dollar and a quality piece at any price...just very, very well made watches!!

Bullseye, Chris! There's something about that "sun" that doesn't seem to fit the overall look of the watch and the profile of its character. But then again, they might be trying something new...

Thanks Jeff...sounds like I'm not the only one struggling with these new designs.

They are definitely trying something new...it's just taking me a while to warm up to these new ones.

i too am having difficulties with the new designs.  i was really looking foward to the new flieger, and it fell flat for me. 

back to dannys post, the deep blue was released and it is 599$.  though, i dont like the color choices for the hands.  i wish the black dialed one was an orange and white combo

I haven't seen it posted here but on watchuseek's Debaufre forum theres a different Flieger GMT prototype that looks pretty sexy.  I agree with your thoughts on Deep Blue as well, kind of an odd pairing of colors.

And I agree with everyone in regards to this watch!

Though I already like this watch, it appears to be a bit dressier or "fashionable".  Some (most) people may disagree with me but I think Omega's Seamaster does a better job of incorporating this particular style of dial and not making it overly dressy or fashionable.

I believe this watch will have ALOT of wrist presence.

I think they have spoiled the look of the dial by putting the date at 6 o'clock instead of completing the balanced look with the 3, 6, 9, and 12 and putting the date between the 4 and 5.
