The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I own a Breitling Crosswind and love the design except for the upright numbers in all 3 sub dials. I was wondering if Breitling would/could change these numbers from the plain, upright style to the "newer", italic style numbers?

Right now my watch is at Breitling USA for a complete service and I guess now would be the time to get something like this done, if possible.

Does anyone know if Breitling can slightly change the style of a dial?

Thanks, Eric.

would need a whole new dial, ask them.....the worst they can say is no

(my , now sold, emergency had a change of dial and hands at the last service and the labour was free from breitling USA)......dial and hands wern't too expensive either

but that's assuming they still have stocks of the Crosswind dial as it's been discontinued for a few years now. I always personally really liked the roman numerals on the Crosswind....

Agreed.

The Roman numerals look very classy.

I can guarantee You, that Breitling will refuse putting a Chrono Evo dial into a Crosswind.
But You can still put Your Crosswind on the market, and, if You get a good price, go for a new Evo.

Thanks for all the replies. I wasn't very clear in my first post. I want to keep the Crosswind dial with the big Roman numerals. I just want to modify my dial slightly. I guess I will have to ask Breitling if they have an old black, Crosswind dial lying around.

When the Crosswind first came out, the sub dials had upright numbers. Actually, number #4 at the bottom of the page (see link below) is my exact watch. The newer Crosswind version, watch #2 at the bottom of the page, used a different style; the style I would like to add to my watch.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks.
