When I first saw that run through the auction I thought someone had installed a plastic model Sprint dial in a different case. Very unusual to see a blue dial Breitling from this era in a gold case. ![]() |

Definitely unusual, but case looks correct so if it is a hybrid then it seems to still be all Breitling parts. I also think that it looks very sharp - great looking piece if it is right. Case will be GP with the SS back presumably. |

quite interesting, really. seller messaged me the numbers engraved on the caseback, ref. is 2051, in line w/ the Sprint range; serial no. 1437xxx dates it to 1975. |

Hmmm. Maybe that isn't a gold case like I first thought. Must be the tint on the picture. Here's a better set of pics of an identical watch. http://tempussuisse.com/shop/breitling/breitling-sprint-chronograph-watch-c1975/ |
