Not a 7733. Some were produced with Valjoux 72s, most with Venus 178s.

Hi , just follow this link to Chronotime : the Aviation watches are affiliated to the original Navitimer family - initialy assembled using original parts bought from the close to its end L.Breitling company .
Mr Wajs has recently issued a 24 hours version encasing a modified Valjoux 7733, and 2 new 12h versions would come soon .
It is not real Breitling, but the closest you can expect with a V7733.

not to forget the Valjoux 7736 versions, made by Breitling, as far as we know all marked 806-36; late 60s and early 70s.

Fred, the first versions are marked 806-36 and the last ones are marked 806-E . The tale is that a shortage in V178 drove Breitling to replace it by the V7736, first time in 1967 and second time in 1970 .
Nocase modification was needed , as movement diameter , hands fitting , stem height , all dimensions were compatible . Only dial feets were not at the same place .

As I understand it, 7736/24 in the 24 hour version. Manual wind. My O & W is about 6 years old. Nice watch to wear.
