Footnotes Breitling created the Unitime as a watch to fill the needs of people using primarily 24 hour units for time. These dials take a little getting used to as 12 midday with a casual glance would read 6 o'clock on a conventional watch. Another unusual feature is the asymmetric dial with the larger minute recording subdial completing the quirky nature and look of this watch. The production numbers of this lies in between numbers 1276xxx and 1277xxx meaning less than 1000 were ever made and due to its unusual function probably not all the possible numbers were used.
