Breitling Patrouille de France

[Victoria]

The Shoutbox has yielded unexpected comedy, ever since newer members confuse it for a "Searchbox". I saw that someone had written "Patrouille de France". It's the acrobatic wing of the French Air Force.

Like searching for the Blue Angels or Red Arrows.

But then I Googled "Patrouille de France montre" and would you believe it, yes, there is a Breitling edition honouring the PdF! I'm sure you Breit fans knew that already.

Freaking sweet.

Is there a rep?

This is the only one I could find:

Identical.

wow vic! is this a 1:1 superep?

The smaller watch looks like a genuine Breitling Callisto?

Breitling has made a great number of "special editions" for different teams, squadrons or Air forces. Usually on special order from the squadrons.

It is indeed. Breitling have released many a Ltd Ed watch in conjunction with aerobatic teams etc....

Coo, moonphase manual wind. What movement is that?

I'm not too keen on the first one, but this is hotness, b16a2.

@ Pug - the Patrouille Navitimer uses the Breitling calibre 11, based on a Lemania movement.

I agree Vic, the P.F.T. Chronomat is a beautiful piece. Another favourite of mine is the original Breitling Blackbird which looks very similar;
