Let me present my newest find , and my first arrival in 2014
A very nice example of the ref 817 , one of the very few Breitling watches specifically made for the military

I saw a picture on a FB group showing an Heuer Bund. and started to hunt one one of the rare Breitlings down . This is the CP-1 version , made in very limited numbers for the italian forces , specifically for their helicopter pilots and marked E.I. 0182 on the back
