There was a LE a few years ago on the Chronomat (Chronomat Evolution then) and I think maybe one other model, but not regularly offered.

There were two versions of the black MOP Chronomat offered for sale. The US-only version had white/silver subdials while the Japan-only version had black subdials. Both were very nice but the Japanese version just edged it IMHO.

That's the second one I was thinking of - not a different model, a different LE - good memory Driver8!

There is a LE gold Bentley 6.75 with black mop. The Evo had more of a blue mop, though they called it black.

Evo was available in '07, I believe the still have a few of the 6.75 left since it was $106,000 on bracelet :)

I have a chrono cockpit about 3 years old http://www.photobox.co.uk/my/photo?album_id=267900474&photo_id=330127341. Any idea of how much it would cost to fit a white MOP dial to this watch and is it only Breitling UK that can do this for me

There was a MOP option as I narrowly missed buying a watch with exactly this option, but I wanted steel and gold and I couldnt find one that had exactly what I wanted

I think you have linked just the photo - it doesn't work.
Link the auction page.

It's a MOP indeed, thanks for sharing.

Agreed. I came close to snagging the black/black Japan only version from an AD in California who had acquired it. Glad I didn't now because IRL the black MOP appears to be more of a midnite blue color than black... :(
Best,
Ron
