Just wanted to post this ebay link showing a Breitling Aerospace. If you look at it carefully you'll see a few problems. Chronometre Aerospace dial but in an earlier, non superquartz, case. In addition, my experience has been that limited or special edition models with a military affiliation usually come in the all titanium case and not two-tone. Me thinks someone is having a little fun with a dial change. :-(

The windows on the dial don't look right. The lower window looks too big and the upper window looks too small.
I believe the bracelet is incorrect as well. The bracelet is an older 2 tone, not the bracelet usually found on the post 1995 Aeros.
Not sure, but this bracelet appears to have gold plate on the outside surface, the wrist surface is SS. Was this the norm during this period?

it's an 80360 so it should have the NAVITIMER dial. i like the 'special edition' part of the title! this is where eBay can be a nightmare - sellers unashamedly misrepresenting their wares.
