| Post subject: | Question from a Vintage Newbie - Venus 178 |
I'd like to learn more about the watch I just purchased. What exactly is the Venus 178 movement, and why is it desirable in old Breitling? Is there some sort of interesting history, or historical importance to this movement? and what other brands or watches had this type? Thanks in advance, |

no historical or horological relevance, "just" a very nice crown wheel chonograph caliber. |
