Vintage Breitling - Newly Aquired

Recommended Posts

MAJ75

I have been looking for a few months for the right opportunity to aquire my first Vintage Breitling.

 

I love the aesthetic styling of the Top Time model, the case shape is beautifully simple and the dial is well proportioned with the dual register chrono having a lovely symmetry.

 

I know that it is very similar to my Heuer 7725S but I just love the design of the chronographs from the 60's.

 

I managed to secure my piece at auction & it is in wonderful condition for being over 50 years old, the movement (Venus 188) is keeping great time.

 

Hoping that next up might be a Navitimer 806 from the same era.

Thanks mate, similar to other watches of the time fairly small by today's standard - case diameter 36mm

That's what I suspected. The dial has an amazing shimmer that's got to be a lot nicer in person.

My that is a pretty thing. You are definitely on a role. Maybe I should say defiantly on a roll.

I need to start cutting back my friend as "the roll" is taking me towards insolvency...........

Coming from yourself & knowing your taste it means alot. Sadly herd thinning will have to commence soon, the trouble is I love everything I have left so don't know where to start.
