Never seen it before and can't find any info but looking at both the watch and the paperwork, undoubtedly real.

Looks like a 2009 design dial with the 2008 hand set so I'd guess it dates from 2009.

I'll add it to the LE thread.

Sometimes Breitling makes limited editions for small markets only, which are normally not communicated worldwide. Except the Emergency, where the smallest edition was 5pcs, there is usually a minimum quantity of 100 pcs. So I am really surprised to read of 30 pcs only.

Total guess - the Luna hotel in Venice which is 5 stars.

Official policy is (or at least was a couple of years ago) 30 or 50 pieces depending on model for single group orders.

We've tried, but the fact is that most of us want something more custom than a little screen print on the dial, and Breitling doesnt seem to be willing to do it. I think a couple people here with the contacts have been in touch with Breitling since, but youll have to wait for their response as to where we stand.

I wasn't referring to the 5* SO but to all those LEs that Breitling is proposing lately with a different colored hand here, a colored rubber bezel there etc. That's not LE for me, that's an effort to rise sales because your current models are not selling as they should...
