Sorry if this has been brought up before.....
Why do the watches not say 'Swiss Made' on the faces :?:

To get a cleaner dial, I guess. As VI says it's on the back. :) And, most peoplpe that know Breitling is a watch will probably also know it's from Switzerland, I think.

I woulda bought that if Breitling had clean dials.. but Breitling's dials are probably among the most cluttered in the industry.. which, admittedly, I liked. It's never really bother me either way though. To be honest I don't even look for it on most watches.. unless they are a new brand I have no heard of.

I agree Admin, Breitling dials are not really minimalistic. What I tried to say was that would be even more cluttered trying to squeeze in a "Swiss Made" label too. With that in mind, you must admit it's "cleaner" without the extra text... :)
