I am offering from my collection two excellent+ condition and very rare Breitling chronographs…First up is a 1969 Breitling TopTime 3 register chronograph with a mint AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) wings black dial and the manual winding Venus 178 column wheel chronograph movement (same engine as the 806 Navitimers)...
Nice large 38mm Stainless Steel case with silver contrasting sub-dials on the original black AOPA dial... nicely patinaed matching luminous in the hands and dial hour markers… case-back signed Ref# 810, Serial # 1279xxx (1969 production), Breitling “B” crown, signed movement and fully signed case-back... in amazing condition for a 40+ year old watch! I’ve only seen a couple like it in over 10 years of collecting… this model is much scarcer than the many 806 AOPA Navitimers floating around out there!!
This was recently timed, oiled and adjusted by my local watchmaker and all functions work as they should... comes on a great Sirtoli (RIOS) black 19mm sharkskin strap with a vintage 60’s Breitling 16mm buckle and will also include a nice gray & blue vintage Breitling box!
Next up is a fantastic 40's 1st generation Breitling Chronomat which I purchased about 10 years in NOS condition with the original strap, buckle and hangtag… only problem, it was missing the casebook… so I had one custom fabricated by Wuischpard & Son in Cocoa, FL who did a terrific job… the watch is still in basically NOS shape as I've probably worn it less than 5 times in those 10 years… just a stunner!!
Asking $2000 each, or will sell both for $3500… both prices net to me… Shipping + insurance at buyer's cost… International shipping at buyer's risk...
Please e-mail w/ any questions or for more pix...
Thanks for looking,
Peter
