Interesting Vintage Breitling, Ref 817

Just when I thought that I had seen just about every shape and style of vintage chronograph, along comes a new one --

http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-BREITLING-817-Italian-military-chronograph-/250815888987?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3a65cabe5b

said to have been made in small quantities, specifically for Italian air force helicopter pilots; powered by the Valjoux 236.

so who is an expert in these? what more do we know about them?

I suppose we can never say that we have seen them all.
