Good evening ladies and gentlemen from the highlands of Scotland.

I would like help in identifying my Breitlung stopwatch. I have checked online and can't seem to find a stopwatch that matches, so any help would be appreciated?

You are not very generous with pics , it does not help us to help you !

Not many informations on line about sport timers . Only 3 versions on the '70 catalog, but Breitling had some specific catalogs for those items .
http://www.breitlingsource.com/books_70s.shtml
Many versions in 30', 60', single time , multiple time, split second , stop with 1 or 2 or 3 buttons .

Inside the caseback you would be able to read " Nickel Chromium" + a 6 or 7 digits SN stamped . Type reference was printed on a paper label sticked outside the caseback , so if removed you will not find anything about type .
Most of calibers were supplied by Baumgarten

Sorry, I did try to upload some more pics at the time of posting but the files were too big and resizing on my kindle is a pain. I will post some extra pics shortly.
How do you open the back?

To open the snapped caseback , just look at the small recess on the edge of caseback and use a cutter blade to unsnap. To put back the caseback , just press it .

Some more pics of my stopwatch.

I did see the little recess on the rear of the case but couldn't get it open, I didn't want to use too much force in case I cause any damage.

Finally managed to get the rear case off and here are the pictures from within including a very fine inscription that is very difficult to see with the naked eye.

Oops, here the near invisible inscription.
