Notes
A truly great and very rare early Breitling chronograph featuring a beautiful untouched black dial with attractive copper color telemeter scale similar to Omega multi-sale chronographs of that time. Featuring a Venus caliber 170 allowing for a vertical alignment of the counters and a beautiful rotating bezel and preserved in excellent overall condition, it is one of the greatest chronographs made by the firm.
