technically not vintage, because "Premiumwatch" claims that in 1982 a limited series of 250 watches was produced by Ernest Schneider and the new Breitling corporation, using up the last stock of movements they had from the old company.

Now, as far as I know, Schneider bought the name only and the stock of the defunct company was bought up by others, also never saw an Erberhard movement in a Breitling chrono, never heard about these "limited series", have you ?

We touched on these limited watches before here.

It looks consistent with the others.

The movement engraving is a little odd - blank bridge and engraved balance cock :huh

But don't think that it is inherently wrong.

I had a similar one from the same series
I believe they're genuine re-issues but my bridge engraving did look different
