Technically, the Breitling functions perfectly including the chronograph function and has been recently serviced: (288°; +12s/d).
The watch shows hardly any signs of wear. There are no deep scratches, dents, etc., the glass is scratch-free.
Breitling was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Switzerland and is now owned by the British financial investor CVC Capital Partners.
Since the 1930s, the manufacturer has supplied on-board clocks and wristwatches specially developed for pilots with predominantly black dials and eye-catching luminous numbers to the Royal Air Force and, since the 1940s, to the US Army Air Force. The operating patterns and possible calculations made sense especially for pilots. Among other things, Willy Breitling introduced the second pusher as a stopping mechanism for the chronograph in 1934, which still sets the standard in the watch industry today.
The models Chronomat and its further development Navitimer from 1952 feature complex bezels for special calculations by pilots such as fuel consumption, climb and descent rates, and speeds. Also referred to as personal onboard instruments for pilots. With the Superocean, Breitling marketed the first diving watch in 1958.
In 1979, the name and trademark rights from Willy Breitling were transferred to the entrepreneur Ernest Schneider, who had been producing watches under the Sicura brand since the 1960s. The manufacturer specialized in multifunctional mechanical chronographs including integrated quartz functions, for example the Emergency pilot's watch with an emergency call transmitter specifically for pilots.
The first mechanical diving watch with a water resistance of up to 3000 meters in 2002 and the self-designed chronograph movement received particular public attention B01 for the 125th anniversary celebration in 2009.
