Hi guys,

I'm thinking about putting this Breitling auto movement into my SOSF case. I'm wondering if you can tell me the font on the date wheel (of the spare movement) is correct for this watch model.

Thanks!

This is what's currently on the watch.

The one that you're about to install looks much better.

First versions of the ETA SFSO had much better datefonts. They downgraded it at some point... your watch seems to have the lemon.

Thanks guys! The font looks exactly like the ones on my gen movement.

I was pretty confused when I posted my question because my gen Colt Auto has very similar font as what's currently on my SOSF. I know it's gen because I bought it from a reputable dealer years ago. Did Breitling make more than one variation of the Colt Auto then?

Your Colt seems to have standard ETA font, which was used by Breitling as well before they started to apply their own DWs on the movements.
