I recently notice that my father had one breitling (he only have vintage omegas) and he gave me it.
The dial and hands are in very good condition and it keep accurate time. The case has some scratches (not a big deal) but the acrylglass is quite good.
First: the serial number, it isn't according to the regular table
Second: The hands are not usual but they match perfectly with the dial's numbers.

What model is this and what is his calibre? Does it have any value?
(please notice that this can't be a "frankenwatch")


I will be very grateful for those who can informe me about this model.

Well then all that I can say is that the serial number is completely inconsistent with any Breitling wrist watch that I have ever seen and that the name on the dial must have have been done on a very bad day at Breitling.

I don't believe that the watch is a real Breitling.

Many thanks!

So it's a old fake with a good calibre!

Well it's a fairly standard movement of the time

The movement is a Landeron cal 39. Older fakes are out there. Some others on this forum have seen them.
