What Breitling is this? Saw it at an AD

[wimpie007]

Hi experts walked by an AD and saw this quartz Breitling, which version is it, can't place it!

Also there is something funny about the bezel, looks like the 15 and 45 are on the wrong side or something

Bezel is backword but I have seen that in some other models like the SkyRacer but this bezel doesn't look anything like the skyracer and the skyracer has a date at 6. The numbers look like something emergency or areospace but they are missing the chronograph sub dials and both of those models have digital displays also. I am thinking it is something new in the professional line but I don't see anything on the Breitling site that looks exactly like it. It could be some mixture of models lol.

edit...

Oh and the 20 on the date wheel looks almost dead on to the 20 in my SFSO that I am wearing today...

What a weird bezel! you should go in the AD and ask about it! It looks like some kind of version of the Breitling Emergency. Although I'm not sure.

It's definitely weird to see the 15 and on the left and the 45 on the right....

wtf? i have never seen something like this. The bezel really looks strange :-/

This is the Breitling Emergency Mission. Its bezel numbering allows it to be used as a count-down timer.

I just looked through my 08 catalog (Chronolog 08), and this is in there.

It's an Emergency Mission. They refer to it as the "Civilian" version of Emrgency.

yeah it's the one with the distress beacons ....no price i see

[Bike Mike]

This model was discontinued after 2008. AD's still have them but the are at least 2 years old now, so they should be giving a fairly nice discount on them.

[jchurch]

That would explain why I didn't see it anywhere on the breitling site lol. Still a decent looking watch.

[wimpie007]

Thanks all! I saw it and i liked it till i saw the tick of the secs at 6 hehe ;-)

No price on it and no time to walk in

So exactly what was the price on these when new and what kind of nice discount could be had from a 2 year old watch that still sitting behind the counter? I might take a trip today to the AD.

Before venturing to you AD for one of these beauties, ask yourself if you are willing to spend $400-$600 every 2 years on it? This is Breiltings service request due to the Dassault-transmitter in it. I have never heard (even though I am sure they exists) anyone outside of Breilting that will replace the batteries.

New these pieces were $6225. You might be able to get 30%+ off on one of these pieces if you have a AD that you have bought from in the past. If not, plan the AD playing the "It is a discontinued model" card.

the answer to that is a firm hell noo!!! lol ehh it was worth a shot. lol I guess ill stick to something else. im really digging the black steel SA. The rep that is.
