I also appreciate the "oldies" especially the Blackbird
although 10 years isn't that old yet!

Superb watches!
They look almost bullet-proof!

dricig can you get that Blackbird (on that a bracelet) without the second-dial on it or was that 'standard-issue'?

Spuds,

The UTC module pictured is on a bullet bracelet (rouleaux) designed for the blackbird.
A plain bullet bracelet was also available without the module as was the pilot style bracelet.

The UTC Module is the small face quartz watch on the south (6 o'clock) side of the main watch.
The UTC or Universal Time Coordinate module is used to track a 2nd timezone and is an option on select Breitling pilot watches.
The bracelets and straps are UTC specific for the model.
I like the unique look the modules give and I also have my Aerospace equipped with one. Since being discontinued a few years ago these are getting harder to come by.
