Perfectly real, fairly uncommon piece produced in the early 90s.

I'd said even few years earlier, but as Roff said, perfectly real.

Pretty sure that it's 91 :wink:

91 is my oldest catalog.
There are 200m/wr auto and quartz Colt with a normal (Colt's) bezel and 300m/wr auto and quartz Shark with its (Shark's) normal bezel in it.
The one on the ebay have Shark's dial (and cal.10), but without model name on it which all 3 hand Shark's have and uncommon bezel.
My guess would be that it is older model from which Shark and Colt evolve, but it's just a guess.
Do you maybe have a different 91 catalog? ;)

No, different catalogue, and pretty sure that this was never in a catalogue. It's not a limited edition as claimed in the listing, just a limited production special edition - there were a couple of logo dial versions as well (one Spanish or Italian I think), but to the best of my knowledge it never made it to a 'real' documented model.

Of course it's not a LE.
Closest model to this one is Maritime and can be seen on page 11... http://www.breitlingsource.com/books_1985.shtml
Don't have catalogs older than '91, but it might be just as you said, that it wasn't officially documented.
If it wasn't, correct year would be difficult to determine.

That's not a problem, it's cal.10 inside.
