Chronomat

Breitling | Ref. 808

Sold

Chronomat!

A very nicely preserved and rare Breitling Chronomat in a 38mm steel case with a Venus 175 hand-wound movement.

The case shows very few signs of wear for the watch's age. The lugs are in excellent condition, with no deep scratches or similar damage visible.

The original tritium dial is in excellent condition. Only under a loupe can minimal discoloration be seen on the edge of the dial at the hour markers.

On the back of the case back, in addition to the reference (808), the corresponding patent number (21702) for the slide rule mounted on the bezel can also be found.

The watch comes on a leather strap from our house.

The watch has been fully serviced by our partner workshop and comes with a 1-year warranty.
