Dear Friends,
my name is Luca and I live in Italy.
At the moment I have th Breitling B1 and The Breitling Old Navitimer ref 806 Caliber Venus 178 restored from Breitling.
Next watch that I wouldl like to buy is a Chronomat with the logo of MB339. I know this logo is in the back side of all the Frecce Tricolori but I know this logo was done also in the early version of Chronomat.

So I would like to find or someone who help me to find all the models (photo of dial) that was manufactured from Breitling with logo of MB339, so that I can find the model that like me.

Someone can help me?

Is this an impossible search?

Best Regards

Luca

I don't remember seeing any dials with a MB339. There are (I think) 2 Chronomats with MB339 on the back but not the front. The 1994 10th anniversary of the Chronomat and a 1995 Frecce Tricolori special edition.

If you find any, please post details here.

Hello, thanks.
The MB339 is not in the dial but in the back side opposit the dial.
I know the logo of MB339 was done with the first versions of Chronomat, I think 1984 and then with the recurrent 1994 and 1995.
I'm looking for 1984.

Regards

Luca

I don't know of any Chronomats that have the plane on the dial. There are a couple of versions of the Frecce Tricolore with their three arrows on the dial - the later version is the one with the plane on the caseback (the first version had a regular caseback).

Hello, Sorry, NOT dial but Caseback.

The plane is on the Caseback and I'm looking for the photos about that models.

Regards

Oh well, that's easy.

The ones that Sharkmouth posted are the caseback, it's the second generation of the Frecce Tricolori, the first version had the regular caseback.

There are 3 versions of this watch:

3,000 in steel with black dial
1,000 in steel with yellow dial
100 in gold with black dial

Steel ones are model number A13050.1, gold ones are K13050.1

Steel and black one looks like this:

Steel and yellow one is here:

Can't find any images of the gold one at the moment.

There are fakes of this watch, but all of the fakes I have seen either have a regular caseback or have a formation of planes on the back rather than the one single aircraft.[/img]

Many thanks, but I know there are a few Chronomat without Frecce Tricolori logo but with MB339 on caseback.

I will post ASAP some photos.

Luca

Take care - I have seen fake Chronomats which use a 9 ship MB-339 caseback.
