I happened to look at this very watch tonight at the local AD. It is a very impressive watch. In store light, the color of the dial seemed to change a little as you changed the angle at which you held it. I'm not sure if that is the information that you were seeking.

As an aside, I asked what movement and the salesperson (who knew nothing about watches) got the Breitling catalog. The super ocean has a Breitling caliber 17 which is an eta 2824 with nicer finishing. The better spec'd reps have eta 2824 movements so it would seem that this rep is really close to the gen.

Here is a link to info on the gen

Yes the AR coating reduces the amount of reflected light. The darker the dial the more the reflections will show on the crystal. The new Steelfish's have a very heavy AR though, and won't reflect much light at all, and you will see the blue tint of the AR at certain angles.
