I recently bought a s/h B-1 from a local jeweller. I'm pretty sure the box is from a newer model but I'd welcome anyone's help.

The B-1 is model no A68062 so its the older NON siuper quartz.

This is the box....

This box dates from 2007 onwards. There were two types of these (gloss outer box and matt outer)

The Box is nice, but I want to see photo's of the watch.
Be safe, Frank.

The older square box, correct to the watch tended to suffer from broken hinges. Breitling UK would do some kind of service exchange if that was the case, so quite likely that has been done. As nice as it is to have the correct box, that's probably more robust

I think one of these would be correct for your B1
