Hello all, and happy new year! I've owned several Breitlings but never one this old. Immediately, the off-centeredness of "Breitling" on the dial threw me off, and there's also concern with the bridge being stamped on this early of a movement. If anyone has some insight it would be greatly appreciated!

dial is clearly a recent fabrication - "Montbrillant" preceded the Breitling branding, a co-branding on dials was started when the "New Breitling" re-introduced the Chronomat design with the current Montbrillant line in 2004
