Breitling Sprint Chronograph 18K 1951

Breitling has obvious credentials when it comes to chronographs, a crucial tool in the aviation world. This Breitling 1197 is a fantastic example of everything the brand was doing right in the 1950s. The case is perfectly proportioned with its brushed case bands and the slightly downturned lugs. Furthermore, this watch is powered by the trusted Venus 188 chronograph movement.

 

This watch is in fantastic condition with minimal scratches to the case and little sign of wear. The dial is equally gorgeous in great condition with some even patina and the chronograph buttons are still crisp.
