Gorgeous! Also, what kind of strap is that, I've never seen it before. What is that device on the strap? |

Thanks for the compliments, guys.  Yes, it is an OEM black croco, model 781P for those interested. I had ordered a "long" version (781PL) back in March which had to be special ordered and made for me at Breitling Switzerland. They mistakenly built a 764PL which is the black croco (UTC specific) for the Crosswind series and B-1/B-2 model watches. The difference is the interhorn width of the UTC modules. On the Crosswind and B-1/B-2, the A70174 UTC module has a 19mm south interhorn width and the south strap which attaches to it tapers to 18mm for the tang/buckle assembly. For the Chronomat Evolution, the A70177 UTC module has a 20mm south interhorn width and the strap which attaches to it has no taper to the tang buckle assembly. The north strap of the 764PX strap is a 22-18mm in contrast to the more contemporary (2003 and later) 781P which is a 22-20mm taper. When I finally received the (incorrect) strap in October, I allowed Breitling to cancel the 781PL "build" and send a regular length 781P to me because they had ONE in stock.  I didn't want to wait another six months for the "long" version to be built. The regular fits my 7 3/4" wrist ok but I prefer a little more of the south strap running through the second loop. I have a couple more OEM black crocos including a "long" non UTC specific strap so I may swap the north side with the 781P to customize the fit a little better for me. If any of our members wants the 764PL for an A70174 UTC on his B-1, B-2 or Crosswind get in touch with me. If you want to see what that one looks like on my B-1, here is is...
Cheers, Ron
