Hi, I have a Breitling Aerospace E65362 (Titanium) with a Hercules motif at '3'

All I know is that it was produced as a limited run back in 2000 and apparently only available to aircrew on the Hercules aircraft, but don't know anything else about it and can't find anything on searches across the internet.
I would be really grateful if anyone had any further info or links for heritage, quantities produced, etc.
many thanks

This one?

The C-130J entered service with the RAF in 1999 which would tie in with a 2000 production date for the watch.

These custom dial watches are usually a limited edition of about 50. The individual number is often etched on the back in the style xx/50.

Andrew Michaels Jewellers (a sponsor of this board, link at the top of every page) has produced many limited editions for the forces so it may be worth contacting them.

Value of custom dial limited editions is normally slightly less than a standard dial since the appeal of the watch is limited to those with an association with the design.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks Sharkmouth, that is really helpful.
The actual design is slightly different - I should have uploaded an image, so here goes...

Haven't seen that particular one, but chances are that it's an Andrew Michaels commissioned piece as Sharkmouth suggested.
