The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Can someone explain to me(because I don't know) how this one is an automatic movement?

I don't see the rotor...

Looks nice though.

It's a micro-rotor hidden under the chronograph modul.

Nothing wrong here

As Jarl says, this is the Breitling 11 series automatic (developed in conjunction with Heuer which is one reason why Jarl is so familiar with it) and it's exactly what a late 60s / early 70s Breitling automatic chronograph should look like.

The watch isn't perfect though. The chrono seconds hand is a replacement, and the main hour and minute hands also look off, but without a head on shot it's hard to tell for sure.

Also not sure about the date wheel - it should be black or bright red, this could be black, but looks dark red in some photos, again not sure why there isn't a head on shot of the dial.

A micro rotor... very interesting... never saw that one coming... thanks~!
