The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The subject pretty much sums it up. What is the difference between the Montbrillant A41330 and the A41370. I know the A41370 is the current version. I can't find much info on the A41330. Is it the old mineral crystal version?

Many thanks,
Scott

Yes the A41330 came with mineral glass whereas the A41370 has sapphire crystal. Other than that they are basically identical.

They are the same, but they use a different Crystal shaphire or Mineral.
Scratch resistant or not.
There is no difference in the outside.
Only the age and condition matters. Off course the newer ones worth a bit more.

Thanks! I see a few A41330 on ebay and they are all listed as "Sapphire Crystal" which I thought was wrong. I asked one of the sellers about it and he basically replied that I didn’t know what I was talking about and that the "mineral" and "sapphire" are the same. Needless to say I marked him off the seller list.

It is a deal breaker for me to not have the sapphire glass because the watch is for my fiancée and she is not as careful as I am. I have a Navitimer World and I am amazed at the licks it takes on the crystal and comes away unscathed. I am sold on sapphire!

I will keep looking for an A41370. If you have one for sale with white face and SS bracelet, PM me!

It's possible that a 41330 could have a sapphire crystal now. If a 41330 needs a crystal replacement during servicing / repairs Breitling are now using sapphire. Because there is no way to tell by looking (other than if the mineral is scratched) look for evidence of the replacement in service receipts.
