A couple of quick pics... (excuse the reflections :oops:

)

Headwind bracelets still available?.... can't seem to find one. I assume not the same as the Evo.

Correct. 350A, 354A and 355A (brushed) are for the Headwind, 357A (engraved logo clasp - can't remember the model # of the newer raised logo clasp version) for the Evo. You can fit Evo bracelet to the Headwind and vice versa but the geometry is slightly different so the fit is sloppy and doesn't look right. Search the Bay and the different fora sales corners (do a WTB) for the 350A which is the one you want for that Headwind.
Best,
Ron

Gorgeous Headwind. What a shame Breitling discontinued it.

Two watches that I like more each time i see them. The Headwind has a nice understatedness to it.

I really hope Breitling brings back the Headwind or something like it...I love the date-day configuration and where the day appears on top...that's a complication I really like...

Hi, Murph. I remember that.

Did you have to re-size it from full standard length and have you been wearing it very much? If so, how do you like the comfort and appearance on your Evo? And BTW, how about a pic or two? :wink:

Cheers, mate.

Ron

I would like it if they bring it back, too, but something tells me it wouldn't look as good if they did. At the very least, it likely wouldn't have the non-curved lugs, which was a very striking part of past Windrider models. Breitling seems intent on destroying the Windrider line, which is truly unfortunate.

That Headwind is Gorgeous, (as is the Evo) but I LOVE that Headwind.

Great pics too.

Good luck in your search for a bracelet for it.

Nick.

(If you ever tire of the Headwind........) :wink:

I've had a few :lingsrock:

since I got the Evo bracelet of you.... which YES I had to resize down... a bit. Very comfortable.

Here it is onthe Evo...

And a few I picked up (some that went too :-(

) over the past year...

And the Headwind & Chronomat Evo yesterday.
