I'm just a simple Heuer guy who knows near nothing about Breitlings but I am ready to bet a few M&Ms that the brown hued model was also produced by Breitling and it is not a faded blue one. The blue one is super cool though, I agree.
Here's my one, and it is in really nice condition with no evidence of fading anywhere.
Also I am pretty sure in an ebay auction I saw a photo in a Breitling catalogue showing the brown tone version. I'll do some digging on google and see if I can find it.
The "chocolate" speedies make sense, and I'm 50.01% convinced that my purple 1533 started life as a blue one, but fading from blue to brown in such a good condition watch seems surprising...
