Victoria Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 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.

Victoria Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm not too keen on the first one, but this is hotness, b16a2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 @ 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; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
