Condition

This vintage Breitling chronograph from the early to mid-1990s, is a striking example of the brand’s aviation heritage, distinguished by its rich burgundy dial beautifully contrasted with gold sub-dials and an elegantly integrated date complication. The bezel features 18ct gold rider tabs, purposefully designed to enhance grip for pilots while also serving as clear markers for countdown or count-up timing, reinforcing both functionality and character. Powered by the renowned Valjoux 7750 automatic movement, the watch is running perfectly and delivers the robust, reliable performance for which this calibre is celebrated. Preserved in spectacular condition, it is further elevated by its original strap and signed Breitling buckle, whose tones complement the warmth of the dial, making this a highly collectible and visually compelling timepiece.
