sounds like a "Sprint", ref. 2016, a model launched in the early 1970s.

I have a Breitling Aerospace, and also an older model with a grey composite case, marked Swiss Made T on the blue face. This was bought during the early 1970's. Has anyone seen this type of Breitling before? It has two dials on the face; seconds and minutes, with a stopwatch feature for the sweeping second hand. Batons are luminous with red inserts. |

Nice pieces, and quite a few around because Old World got a bunch of NOS ones. Cases can become a little brittle with age, but very nice watches and still relatively affordable. |

Hi Roffensian, your image is exactly the same as mine! From other comments about the Sprint, I see that the Resin case was prone to deteriorate - which is the problem with mine. One of the strap clips has damaged the corner of the case, and appears to be unrepairable. Any idea's where I can locate a new case? Thank you |

well, actually the image is mine. contact Lester Harrison in the UK, [lester@tridentx.freeserve.co.uk] or ebay seller mqw89mkm; he did have some spare parts for the ref. 2016, he might have a case left. |
