I recently had Breitling change the battery on my 07 Airwolf. It lasted just over 3 years for those wondering. Funny thing is, I am almost positive the date function before this service was DD/MM/YY (I guess that is the European format). In fact, that is why I never left the LED on this display because I just could not get used to looking at this order. At any rate, the watch came back perfectly polished and looking brand new, and the date format is now MM/DD/YY.

So, the question is, am I remembering incorrectly or did Breitling change the movement somehow?

Complete guess, but I'd say it's more likely that there is a setting for the date format that got reset to the "default" when the watch was serviced.

I just checked mine and it's in the DD/MM/YR format...I wonder how long the battery lasts in these as I wear mine daily with all functions in the off mode and use them as needed throughout the course of the days events including the alarm function.
Thanks for the info...

There is a way to change it back, it's in the manual. The Airwolf is a great piece of gear!

The problem I am having is that the DATE is displayed in French. Can't find how to change the displayed language to English

The language & order of date/month can easily be changed by the owner. The instructions with the watch outline how to do it.

cheers
