Another (Faded) Breitling Chrono-Matic GMT


Alex:

I trust your expert knowledge about the Breitlings, but here is a mystery. Last week, I posted a photograph of a Chrono-Matic GMT that seemed to have faded (top photo).

Now, I find another one listed for sale, on another continent, and it seems to have the same basic color scheme (bottom photo). This sample appears to be in very nice condition, with fewer signs of abuse or aging than the previous sample.

So is this actually fading or could Breitling have produced in a second color combination?

Can you possibly post image of your NOS piece, so that we can see the original color scheme?
Thanks for any analysis or opinions.

Jeff
