Aerospace avantage e79362 backlight

Hi guys,

Could you tell me if this model is supposed to have a backlight at a slow crown movement? Bought a used one and cannot figure out if it has a backlight or not. It's a 2007 model. e79362 The lettering is very weak, the battery is suppose to be new its an Energiser battery 380.

Nice watch!
I have no idea how to use the backlight. I think you should try to go to your local Breitling AD and ask them for help

Sadly I'm also not sure, but really like this watch and almost bought one in the past. Hopefully someone here can confirm for you.

Yes, that model has a backlight that is activated with a slow crown roll.

In fact, that's why the readout is weaker in daylight than the original versions as the backlight capability made it dimmer in ambient light.
