The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Unfortunately I cannot get better photos. Not sure how in this day and age, someone can't have a decent camera! Anyway, these are purported to be for Breitling, but neither is immediately recognisable to me. Any thoughts?






Thanks in advance, as always

Would these be Omega scales?

The first is a Decimal Scale. Used for Industrial timing operations, stat analysis, calc. of averages, cost prices, etc.

The minute is divided into 100 equal parts. If you are measuring processing, then calculations in 100ths might be an advantage.

The second is a Pulsometric Scale. To register rate of pulse per minute without calculations. If you start the centre second at the beginning of an observation and stopped when the number of pulsations is reached. The pulse/minute can be read on the scale at that stage. Why that is important, I have no idea!

The above comes from an Omega guide I have explaining all of the scales they used during the 1960's.

Hope that helps.

do you have dimensions, David ?

can't think of a potential B besides the 2000/3/4, but they seem too big & I've never seen those w/ a pulsations ring.
checking, tachy printing is wrong for the 2000/2/3/4

I dont. they were offered for sale to me and was told they belonged to a Breitling, but i didn't recognize them, and no one here seemed to now quire readily, so I passed. I can put you in touch with the seller if they suit your needs at all.

always interested, but looks like a loooong shot
but if he's realistic about pricing ......

It is not that common, but there was a pulsations bezel variant for speedmasters

Yes. I think they are both omega bezel insert scales. 50% of a group of 4 available a long, long time ago. Both are special scales for limited applications.
