Timepiece Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Ever since my last post on a mystery Breiting (an out-of-production Crosswind model), I've caught the Breitling virus. I just must have one... I found this beautiful model: Breitling Black-Bird Chronomat stainless-steel Automatic Chronograph with date. Black dial with luminous hour markers and hands. Mens size ~ 38mm case with uni-direction rotating bezel. This is a special edition model with matt-steel case. Dial is also signed "Series Speciale Blackbird". Black resin band & buckle by Breitling. Sapphire anti-glare crystal. Screw-lock crown. Would you want this one as a rep too??! Edited October 31, 2006 by Timepiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x86uops Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah - I was at an AD about a month ago when I saw and tried it. It definitely is a nice watch. I didn't realize it's 38mm.. I thought it's a little bigger than that. But it is still a nice watch, nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azgjav Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 hmm..nice strap! maybe i shld put a nylon or a carbon fibre strap w white/cream stitch on my black bird! mine's from the first batch (1997) w a diff chrono seconds hand, non COSC and a diff date wheel. there are quite a few versions of the blackbird actually, baton or numeral markers, first, second, third and fourth editions, etc. the edition before the blackbird was discontinued has a different case, pushers, crown, bezel and bracelet. looks better imho. the new blackbird uses a big date chrono movement in the evolution case which does not appeal to me at all..

I think I agree with you on this one: old over new (sorry Rolexman) and try it on with a black strap. Great wrist shot with that bomber (like) leather jacket sleeve!! Nice AR shine. What rep do you think, comes closest to the blackbird; an Avenger Chrono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
