Hi. I remember seeing a nice Breitling with separate windows for the date. I think some Blackbirds have it but when I checked on line, the Blackbird had the windows at 12 O'c. I thought I saw the windows at 3 O'c or 6 O'c. Any ideas which other Blackbirds have such windows?
cheers

Apologies Grey Ghost...I meant, separate windows for the two digits in the date e.g. 14th would appear in two separate windows.

"Chronomat Blackbird" deffo does/used to do (12 o'clock)

Also "Breitling Bentley 6.75", there is also a rectangular one "Bentley Flying B" as well. both 12 o'clock





"Breitling Cockpit" 3 o'cklock



"Breitling Crosswind Special" - 12 o'clock


Not a massive fan of the blingy Breitlings but this is gorgous.
"Breitling Transocean 38" - 12 o'clock

I believe the complication is referred to as 'big date' - I'm pretty sure it's only the more modern Blackbird watches have this at 12 o' clock. However maybe you spotted a Galactic Big Date?

That's probably Beau Gems, nice selection in their window usually and turn over a few to be fair.

OP, have a chat with Dominic Hackett at Hackett watches for a quote on a new one, he is a well known and respected source of watches for us PH folk thumbup

Here is another!

Really impressed by the feel of the watch. It has a chronometer automatic movement too!

Best buying these pre-owned as they represent great value to new.
