Hi all, just joined great forum!

Im looking for some info regarding the breitling emergency titanium models.
I was looking at a watch on ebay and i figured out that theres is two titanium models available, different dials and slightly different backgrounds and different font. Some are e56321 and some are e76321.
Does any know what are the differences in those two models as i coulndt find any info on the net?
Kind regards,

The B56 movement in E56321 is the earlier non-Superquartz version, while the B76 in the E76321 is the newer Superquartz movement. Functions are essentially the same, it's just that the B76 is Chronometer rated while the B56 isn't. More info for you here -

Well...........

Some 56 movement pieces are chronometer certified. if the model number is 56321 then it is a chronometer certified regular quartz, if it is 56121 / 56021 then it is non chronometer certified regular quartz.

:oops: If I had a pound for every time I've told people that the "3" in the model number means a movement is Chronometer rated, I'd probably have had enough to BUY an Emergency.

.....and then I go and make a school-boy error like that in my reply! :oops: I put it down to a long day at work, and posting when I really should've been in bed asleep! Of course you are quite correct Roff. The bit I was right about is that the B56 is just the older version of the B76. As for the rest.... just ignore me.
