Hi Stuart, I was going to say probably real due to the quality of the branding on the buckle. But since the Roffmesiter has doubts, I'll withdraw that assessment.
Vintage pieces are very difficult to verify, unless they make obvious mistakes, like using the Wings and Anchor logo on a watch that originates long before 1984 (the date the logo was created). Since the current incarnation of the Breitling company was started in 1979, they themselves may be a limited authority on vintage pieces.

I think that the bracelet is real, and I an't honestly point out that something specific is wrong with this. I have in the darkest annals of my mind a feeling that I have seen something similar, but can't find it - when I think early quartz, the early Navitimer LED springs to mind.
edit - sometimes you need to check the obvious. It's in Richter
