For sale is an excellent condition 44mm stainless steel Breitling Headwind. Watch only, but includes an aftermarket black leather strap and buckle, aftermarket bracelet, Breitling travel case, and service receipt from 2015. Watch is currently running at COSC accuracy of -2 sec/day. There are no visible scratches anywhere. AR removed from the front of the crystal. Day/date function snaps over perfectly as it should.

The Headwind was discontinued in 2005 when the new Chronomat Evolution was released and the revamping of the entire Windrider line came about.

The dial on this watch is superb. Showing a date & day of week via aperture windows, it’s functional and pleasant looking. The dial itself is finished by a sophisticated process known as “par epargne” and is almost exclusive to Breitling. The “par epargne” method is said to be extremely luxurious. The dial is a solid piece of silver, with the writing in exposed enamel as opposed to applied lacquer paint. This is attributed to the areas of the dial to receive text being lightly cut into the dial and filled with enamel, which is then polished smooth to lie flush with the dial surface. The result is a stunning contrast & smoothness of text.

Price: $1600 NET to me (includes Priority shipping, Insurance, Signature required within US). Happy to ship overseas but will have to determine shipping cost first.
