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 :D

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.
