I'm wondering how many owners of Headwinds here... I didn't realize that Breitling made these fine pieces... too bad they have been discontinued. Would like to grab a hold of that day/date time piece!

I own one! But I dont think anyone else does.. its one of my favourite Breitlings.. one of the members here will tell you that it is only a half Breitlings due to its sub 46mm size.

46mm is a good size... my CA is 44 which is just right for me.

Too bad Breitling discontinued it.

Wow! This is an old thread!

A survey was done some time ago by a member - br549 (Elwyn). If ya dig through, you might be able to get a sense of how popular this model is.

I'm pretty sure someone summarize this in a google doc, but I can't seem to find it.
