This one popped up on the replica forum with out of focus pics and no one had heard of it but the buyer is flipping it with good pics so here it is.

Bombadier Flexjet Blackbird Chronomat. LE of 200 from late 1990s.

These were produced for Bombardier Aerospace, parent company for Learjet and Challenger aircraft and were given to customers of Bombardier's fractional aircraft ownership program know as Flexjet.

his has come up a couple of times before and the short answer is - no.

The problem is that there are actually a huge number of LEs and SEs because of all the variations with different logos, the country and region specific versions, the extremely limited editions of 10 or less that are never announced, etc.

Without the official help of Breitling I think it would be impossible to put anything close to a definitive list together.


If you look in my forum, you will find more as 80 % of all limiteds, also the real rare with good photos.

I think you need to correct your list unless this is not the same model.
I own the "Chronomat Rhodium dial, red sub hands (US) - 250 " and there were 350 actually made.
Please see my watch and papers below.

Hope you enjoy my BCElmtd.

That is a great example of the LE Chronomat. Love those red subdial hands!

OK... this may seem like a dumb question but I'm still a newbie so I have to ask...

If you have a lower numbered (i.e. #25 of 500) Limited Edition is it more valuable than say #500 of 500?

No, but it may be more valuable than #499.

Generally #1 is greatest value, and then the last and single digit numbers. After that, marginal advantage to a lower number, but it is minor.

The add the wrinkle that certain numbers have cultural significance - 888 our of 1,000 will command a higher price than 444 because 888 is a very good number for the Asian market and 444 is a very bad number.

Okay finally got around to updating this one. I am going to try and put all the LE's we have listed here into a sortable database page so you guys can sort by alphabeticals or sort by production numbers when I get a chance. I also want to add a photo link for the watch if I can get a photo of it that I'm allowed to use. So I may start asking if anyone has photos of these that they took themselves.

interesting. That is the correct model. The watches are stamped xxx/300, and the certificate are stamped xxx/300. I wonder if its a typo on the letter, or if the 300 without diamonds are xxx/300 and the 50 with diamonds are xx/50. I'm pretty sure I saw something(the old price list?) that listed 250 and 50.
