Notes

This model of Spatiographe was made between 1997 and 2002. It is a modern interpretation of the watch first produced in the 1950s. The unusual feature is the large 10-minute totalizer for very clear readouts of short timespans. This watch is of use to pilots who are timing instrument approaches and holding patterns. Bretling developed the caliber 36 movement especially for this watch.
