Breitling Chronomat Blackbird A13353 - Blue Dial Edizione Speciale - Box & Papers (2003)

The Chronomat Blackbird is Breitling's fully matte-finished take on the Chronomat, built around a Valjoux 7750-based automatic chronograph movement and instantly recognisable by its rider-tab bezel and Pilot bracelet. This 2003 example wears the sought-after blue dial with the red "Edizione Speciale" signature, pairing the utilitarian brushed steel case with a colourway that stands apart from the standard black configuration.
