The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello

Sorry if this is a silly question..Im new to this.

I have been offered a Breitling Chronomat model B13050.1

it is like the one shown on attachment (its is not from that website)

Grey dial, blue sub dial, steel case

I have searched the model list on this site and cannot identify it?

Is a grey dial normal?

How old would this model be and what would the going rate be for a immaculate watch?

Thank you for you help

It's a mid 90s Chronomat - some details here - http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=13334

From memory grey dial was one of the options on this so no problem there, price of them isn't great, one sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago for GBP600, look at eBay completed auctions and also look at chrono24.com (although those are largely dealer asking prices) for comparisons.

Sorry another question I have learnt from the referance section

B13050.1

B = Stainless steel, 18 k gold pushers

0 = it says that 3 means is cosc certifed - what does "0" mean????

so the model number must be 50.1 but what is that?

Thanks again

Thank you roffensian

The asking price was £1200 so I take it thats a bit steep for this model?

GBP1,200 is more than a little steep, even on bracelet.

The 0 simply means not COSC certified (it's too early). The 50 is a number that doesn't seem to have any logic to it. I'm sure it means something to Breitling.

The .1 - I have no idea. I used to think that the .1 was a Chronomat Vitesse, but that doesn't seem to hold true. Others may know.

50 is a model of that Chronomat, it's older than 13352 or 13356 and newer than 81950, 13047 and 13048.
I think that .1 means a variation (guilloche dial on that particular model, dial of Chronomat Vitesse...).
