The dial is not of this watch.
Its the same, what I told here:

This is a watch with a very hight serial number of the end of the official Breitling production 1978 or later or made after the end of the official production. In this time Breitling or Breitling-workers or other watchmakers assemled all parts which they could find in the stock.
Even Ernest Schneider has done anything like this.
Herbert is right that this dial and hands have been fitted onto a fiberglass case for which an orange Sprint dial was intended. That bezel color matches the dial color for these - blue, green, brown and orange.
As to the origin of this watch. I was almost certainly assembled recently. Herbert maintains that these were assembled shortly after the company closed and that this was most common. This example does not bear any witness to being from company parts thirty years ago.
And, I do not claim to be an expert about anything. I just expect to see reproducible evidence of statements, conclusions, and hypotheses. A bald-face surmise and assertion seems to be the basis of Herbert's "research" and we have many dozens of examples of his wares and statements at his website to show for it.
I think we can safely conclude that this watch is assembled from NOS parts and quite recently.
