I have never seen this before, and I wasn't able to find it on the Israeli Breitling museum site.

I wouldn't buy it but just curious if anyone has seen it before.

I suspect it's more 70's than 60's (the description says 60's). Also strange that it's "Aviator" and "Sea Diver"? Does anyone recognise the movement?

Well they did make watches with those hands, but a Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver - I think this is a large smelly pile, but I've got a bit of doubt and I don't know why - on the face of it it screams fake. Part of me thinks I've seen something like it befoe, and I don't know where - it may just be senility.

It's not easy to see from the pictures but it looks like the bottom of the lower B loop is touching the upright and if it is then it's definitely faked. The movement is weird - that is one strange bridge shape, but the rest of it is fairly 'normal'. I don't recognise it, and though the bridge stamp can't be read, it doesn't look very Breitling like.

I think it's an invented frankenwatch, I just wish I knew what was going round in the back of my brain

The movement is a Valjoux cal 92 and the case and dial are most likely Croton or Nivada - see:

An obvious fake. Craig

Thanks Craig!!!

Guessed it was a Valjoux with that bridge, but not familiar with the 92 - more research for me.
