I have gotten into my mind that I could get an UTC to fit on my EM. I found a picture of O2AFAC67:s Evo. Between the watch head and the UTC there is a extra "do-dah" that have "UTC" engraved. Could that part be the solution? :)

Yep, I know, it might be impossible but if it would work I think that it would be a superb combination, EM/UTC and I am a bit of a stubborn guy :mrgreen:

Sounds like we're quite similar, if people say it can't be done/obtained, makes you want to do it even more.

Good luck getting the part. If its not made to fit I wonder if it could be accurately re-ground and polished. Damn, that sounds like a nice project :D

Afraid that I have my doubts. It's not the interlug size rather the geometry.

Yeah, that is what worries me too. Just wondering, what was the interlug made for?

It looks as though the UTC/Pilot bracelet combo Alan has posted up there would fit. Both the Emergency Mission and Blackbird cases have a flat surface where the bracelet end links meet the case, but would you want the Pilot bracelet rather than a Pro2?

I doubt the spring bar holes are spaced away from the case the same amount on both models though

I have a fighter bracelet on the EM now and the Pilot has grown on me. There are three things that could make a problem: The width, the springbar holes and the end links. If one could make these three things to work out I personally thinks that it would be a really nice combination :)

Both the Blackbird pictured and the EM are 22mm lug width. I think the main issue is spring bar hole spacing from the case.

Even if the end links sit slightly lower than the lugs, this would not be uncommon for a Breitling anyway

Yeah, you are probably right. Maybe someone here have both models and that bracelet and can test if the bracelet fits :) ;)
