I have gotten into my mind that I could get an UTC to fit on my EM. I found a picture of O2AFAC67:s Evo. Between the watch head and the UTC there is a extra "do-dah" that have "UTC" engraved. Could that part be the solution?  Yep, I know, it might be impossible but if it would work I think that it would be a superb combination, EM/UTC and I am a bit of a stubborn guy

Sounds like we're quite similar, if people say it can't be done/obtained, makes you want to do it even more. Good luck getting the part. If its not made to fit I wonder if it could be accurately re-ground and polished. Damn, that sounds like a nice project

I think it will, maybe one can talk Breitling to do it

Afraid that I have my doubts. It's not the interlug size rather the geometry.

Yeah, that is what worries me too. Just wondering, what was the interlug made for? |

It looks as though the UTC/Pilot bracelet combo Alan has posted up there would fit. Both the Emergency Mission and Blackbird cases have a flat surface where the bracelet end links meet the case, but would you want the Pilot bracelet rather than a Pro2? I doubt the spring bar holes are spaced away from the case the same amount on both models though |

I have a fighter bracelet on the EM now and the Pilot has grown on me. There are three things that could make a problem: The width, the springbar holes and the end links. If one could make these three things to work out I personally thinks that it would be a really nice combination

Both the Blackbird pictured and the EM are 22mm lug width. I think the main issue is spring bar hole spacing from the case. Even if the end links sit slightly lower than the lugs, this would not be uncommon for a Breitling anyway |

Yeah, you are probably right. Maybe someone here have both models and that bracelet and can test if the bracelet fits
