Notes

Probably one of the most iconic sport chronographs from Breitling (apart from the Navitimer of course), the Co-Pilot model became an instant classic when Raquel Welsh wore this model in the movie Fathom (1967). As a spy trying to infiltrate enemy lines to save the world from a nuclear disaster, she wore the large Co-Pilot during her sky dive. Featuring a larger 15-minute chronograph counter to increase readability and a perfectly adapted 42 mm.case, this example has remained in excellent overall original collection and would perfectly fit in in any sport watch collection.
