Oh, what a nice blue bird!

Landed on my doorstep last week!

The Breitling reference A13353 Blackbird with blue dial aka the Bluebird.
Very tool like Chronomat due to the special more edgy shape of the links and bezel and the all brushed finish.

Too big? Too blingy? Nope... All modern day Breitling criticisms are non applicable to a classic like that

The chamfered edge fighter bracelets are superb too. Great purchase.

Lovely bit of kit, was tempted again myself :)

Great size and the all-brushed finish makes it more wearable than most Breitlings I think.

That, and the classic bezel I think. The silly fonts they used post 2008-ish made them look comical IMO

You're all quite right.
Just a subtle Chronomat, this is a keeper.
Thanks!

Love the numerals on the bezel, it's a very cool looking watch

That reminds me why I used to like Breitling so much. I'd keep hold of that one. Classic and classy a real Chronomat.

Nice one. Especially that version with the brushed finish and sharper bracelet links. And a tried and tested rock-solid chronograph movement.

Do post some more photos?

One of the classic Breitlings, IMHO

Yes, I was very surprised to find it in near mint condition.
Here are some more pics.






Cheers!

I have to resurrect this post I've just found,having tried without success when I needed it earlier today whilst out!.

This apart from the blue dial is what I've been talking about on my earlier thread in watch talk.Had some very good replies which having read the same in this post has me seriously considering going ahead and buying the watch.
