That's interesting. Bit of a nautical theme going on there.

Case shape is interesting too. Similar shaping at the lug ends to a Jupiter Pilot, but that's only a thought based on the two pictures. This watch could also be someone's idea of what a Breitling should look like from the time of manufacture.

Don't immediately recognise it, but it is similar in style to the 80s sailing pieces.

It is from the Breitling Tabarly range, but the original crystal has been replaced by a neutral one . The original crystal had a B + reticule lines screen printed in gold color
