Yesterday I was fortunate enough to go to the one and only breitling outlet in NY. They sell older oop models amongst them was a brand new untouched chrono-matic 24 hour limited edition one of only a thousand produced in 2006. I immediately decided I had to have it it is gorgeous to look at

This may sound silly but can someone explain to me how to read the minute hand on this watch?

Same as any other watch, one rotation per hour. You just have to get used to the 5 minute markers being 2, 4, 6, etc instead of 1, 2, 3.

2 1/2 - markers represent the odd hours and so fall equidistant between the even hour / 5 minute markers.

I'm seriously jealous of that pick-up! A NOS Chronomatic LE! You just don't come across those every day, and that's one watch that I always wanted but never owned.
