I wonder why it has automatic on it though? Not a question of its authenticity, just a 'what the' query?

because it is ? Cal 11 is one of the three first (different definitions) automatic chronograph movements, launched in 1969, developed by Breitling, Heuer and Bueren; slightly later version here.

Well I'll be. I'm used to seeing a rotor on auto movements. Can I ask, how does it work?

it is a modular movement, there's a micro rotor below that chronograph module.
