At first glance, it appears to be a combination of at least two Arabic letters; the "k" and the "s"(My Arabic is slightly rusty, but you can see it if you are familiar with the alphabet), although the upper character has an added curve on the right side (which is how the letters should more than likely be read, right to left.).

Graphically speaking, it would only make sense as a symbol of an organization or company (as many western companies do, stylizing the companies initials). These two apparent letters look as if they are over-laid. Makes sense if Breitling did this, it being a company. I'll poke around, but that's the best I have right now.

Interesting, I had not even took it to be letters.

To me it looks like one single lets say pen stroke starting with a 'leg' going up and around making a torso (or even a woman's pregnant belly!), the head, and finishing with another leg.

This is one of those YMMV thing I guess lol

I see the same thing that you see. It looked instantly familiar to me, like some charity ive seen or something.

Hope his Latin is better than his Italian.





Assuming that it is actually some Arabic trademark / corporate logo does anyone know of any directories of those things that could be checked based on the combination of letters????

I'm pretty sure it's arabic, letters are meem and wow.

It could also be initials, I mean we haver no clue if this is a one off, it could easily be a husband and wife initials painted on the dial.
