I was scrolling a bit through Breitling pics on Google images and noticed something strange regarding the white dialed Eclipse Montbrillant A43030.
There seems to be two versions around and all the versions I encountered were offered with box and papers.

There is a white dialed version, where the "g" of Breitling is very close to the "nt" of Montbrillant.
But there is also a version were the g is further away and "Breitling" is positioned at the same height as the black version with Chronograph mentioned on the dial.

Is one of them a special version, or did Breitling just use two different styles dials?

I checked postings on this forum about this model, but it isn't mentioned before.

Interesting. The scale along the outer edge of the chronograph is different as well.

Breitling frequently tweaks dials during the product life cycle, it's nothing more than that as far as I know.
