The unfortunately discontinued Windrider Crosswind. The only Breitling chronograph ever designed with ALL hands and hour indices lumed. The Romans on this piece are stunning any time day or night. Major regrets at selling this piece but at least it's owned by a good friend who treasures it and wears it all the time...  Best, Ron

The Blackbird had all the hands and indices lumed as well. The Crosswind is a beautiful piece though. |

The later Caliber 44 big date BB's (Evo's contemporary) did have them all lumed like the CW. The earlier Caliber 13 BB (the CW's contemporary) did not. Best, Ron |

I had a couple Blackbirds and that's what I loved about them. The big date and the lume. Always enjoy your pics though! |

I had forgotten about the later BlackBird (which happens to be one of my all time favorite Breitlings especially the one with the blacksteel version with red hands!).  Best, Ron |
