Got my dream Breitling this week!
I have wanted the Breitling Blackbird ever since I first got into watches. I finally found the deal I have been looking for, and better yet, it was a black-eye blue-dial version with blue croco deployment strap! I love the pilot bracelet so now I can swap my 355A from my Headwind with the croco strap when I want as well.

Absolutely gorgeous sir!

I would 100% keep it on the croc strap though! Looks absolutely gorgeous on that strap.

The Blackbird is a great looking watch. The blue on blue looks especially nice.

Beautiful, Mitchell! Quite simply, the Blackbird is a stunning watch, and certainly one of my all time favorite Breitling models. And, coupled to a Croco Deployant Clasp, you now definitely have a sporty, yet elegant timepiece that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
