Sicura IS NOT Breitling .
Ernst Schneider who was owning Sicura - a kind of " period Festina" company - bought the L. Breitling company ruins and rights , and it is the only relationship btw Breitling and Sicura . Many sellers associate both names just because they think that it valuates their Sicura .

I have several Sicuras, but I don't think I have ever seen one like that before.

because the dial has been refinished on this one; Breitling added to the dial, not only to the description, like on thousands of other "Sicura Breitling"

Thankfully, all mine are Sicura only.

No, it was not the refinish I was referring to Fred. It was about the actual watch. I had thought I had seen just about all Sicura models, but this one must have slipped through.
