    Breitling, no crystal back.....why?

    There is one of these on SC which interested me.

    I can fully understand most Breitling's having a solid back, but why this one.

    It's like having an Aston Martin with the bonnet locked shut, I like to see the engine.

    It has ETA inside, so more like any 1.x engine from VW/Skoda/Audi

    Thank you, I wasn't aware of that.

    I had an Omega Constellation that I bought in 1986 and wore it almost every day until 2014. The salesman was almost apologetic about it having a crystal back because it had an ETA movement in it. I have to say it wasn't particularly attractive and I saw where he was coming from. Some things are best not seen.
