Hello all.

I wonder if you could help me. I have an old anti-magnetic chronograph with the numbers 765 and 427680 on the rear. I cannot find the age of the watch as the tables don't go that far back in the chronograph lists.

Any help whatsoever much appreciated.

very late 1930s, very early 1940s; no way to date it exactly.
can you please post pics, early Premier ref. 765 are most interesting.

Here is the watch.

Curious to know what it is and the age. Very original inside.

caseback and movement pics would be great, but it is an early "pre-Premier" ref. 765; very late 1930s I would assume
movement should be a Venus 178, might still have the "old" U-shaped bridge, should be unsigned
very interesting piece

Unusual back and I get concerned when the Breitling script and other lettering on the front is so much whiter than anything else on the dial. For sure need a movement pic if you have it.

Hi there

Picture of the inside for you to look at. Be interested in your comments. It works but I'm going to get it serviced.

Thanks

Yep.

Doesn't look like anything Breitling would have used to me - that fine adjuster.........
