The 1930’s and early 1940s were a decadent time for watch manufactures and their case designs. Presented here is a wonderful example from Breitling, housed in a generous steel case that is wonderfully preserved.

The flat-hinged lugs are well defined and crisp and the small oval push buttons, typical of the period, sit elegantly within the stunning brushed finish case.

Furthermore highlighted with an eye catching black dial, it has a fantastic bronzed effect to the printing of the spiral tachometer and the outer telemeter scales, which adds character to an already interesting collectors' watch.

Breitling

Swiss | 1884
The firm started by Leon Breitling in 1884 is best known for its technical aviation and oceanic watches. Today, all models are outfitted with certified chronometer movements, used for accurate timing. Early aviation pioneers in specialized chronograph timepieces, Breitling introduced the circular slide rule to watches in the 1940s for use by pilots. The firm’s most iconic chronograph, the Navitimer, was introduced in 1954 and continues to be manufactured today. Another key model is the Duograph, a split-seconds chronograph that was Breitling's most prestigious wristwatch during the 1940s through '60s. Their watches are built on their reputation for precision and sturdiness.
