I saw this designation in reference to a eBay posting (link below). I assume it means a lower grade diamond, but I'm not sure if it refers to the dial and the bezel, or just one or the other. Is that something that is still factory made?

I don't want to buy this watch, I just haven't seen that designation before and was curious about the origin.

Maybe he ment that the bezel is Breitling made, not the aftermarket.

Nice ladies watch, but I just wish they made them in an automatic!

Me too! Although truth be told, my wife would probably prefer the "set it and forget it" functionality of the quartz.

Thanks Admin for the link to the model info. I never even thought to look there since I thought the B-Class designation was referring to the diamonds. Live and learn.

Below is my daughter's B-Class in two tone with MOP diamond dial and 18K diamond bezel. The B-Class was replaced by the Cockpit Lady after the 2004 model year but it was a popular ladie's Breitling because the rider tabs were integral to the bezel and did not catch clothing as easily as other Windrider line models.
Cheers,
Ron
