Re: Help on watch DPW Breitling
No fishy,this were made by DPW an Italian watch maker of the Eighties,some were made by them some on order from others,
they did order some from Bretling in an OEM order.
Its the same company who made the nice vintage Cantino diver you posted a while back.
Also these were not Issued watches ,they were tribute watches to the Armed forces units of Italy ,or in some case get together orders for people servicing in these units bought by them on their own.

Re: Help on watch DPW Breitling
I might be wrong on this , but I remember (oh I wish I could remember more clearly) reading that back in the day Breitling would supply all the parts for watchmakers to assemble. Some of these watchmakers branded the watches with their own unique brand.

Re: Help on watch DPW Breitling
There was Bretling Aerospace model that used a similar ETA display Quartz ,i dont know if it can be found today,but it might work.
I had a Tissot watch with the same movement back in the late 80's.
