Re: Breitling Shows Us How to Do a Re-Issue

: Great news!
: Would like to see the caseback and the size!

precise re-creation in size and caseback design.
case diameter is 40mm (vintage between 39.05 and 40.05); bezel 40.0mm
height is 12.86mm (vintage between 12.7 and 13.1)
lug-to-lug 48mm, lug width 22mm

the only noticeable difference is in pusher position, the new caliber is slightly different here and also requires slightly longer pushers.

lume has been re-created as closely as possible in color and texture to the original, it is hand applied.

caliber B09 is a new in-house manual wind no-date based on the B01, specifically developed to make these re-creations possible, subdial position precisely as the original cal. Venus 178

here's a wrist shot of the final production model courtesy of Bert Bujsrogge for fratellowatches, taken this Thursday after the final corrected production parts were mounted.

and a quick shot of the caseback, forgive the smudges
