This new piece is very nice, however im suprised B&R provided at least a porthole window on the back for viewing the movement considering the price increase. The baton hands are borrowed from the grand complication model. Id be really excited to see the lume on this model as it looks epic.

Your right its very Hublot / AP Royal Oak with the octagon bezel. This one is definately going to be an acquired taste, and good thing since its limited production... something about it makes me like it more then the older BR01 design, however I wish it was just a non chrono and had the DLC finish.
Here is the prototype pics with the old hands

I like it! I think it will a lot differently on a wrist and more appealing in person.

:-! I think maybe we will have to see it in person, but look at it this way.. the BR01 was designed from UN style jet fighters from the 60s, this one here would be like the instrument on a futuristic space craft. I like the concept of continuing to development instrument type watches, and its not all hype as they actually have incoporated two central clock panel designs in peugot cars (one in production).
