The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Depending on which movement (quartz vs. mechanical) is correct could help validate or refute the authenticity of this.

50 cal is Quartz.

I'll be home on the weekend and will see what I have then, but not sure that I have a specific reference to this.

For what it's worth you aren't hearing that it's fake from me. I am convinced that I have seen something similar to this before, but I can't remember where - maybe one of the auction houses in the last few years. This period in Breitling history is horrendously documented, but I think that this watch is 100% real, and I think that the dial has been customised more than is usual today which is why it looks odd.

50 cal is Quartz.

This pic has been found online and its almost identical to the back of mine

Here's side by side pics of the Titan Gold and Omani watch





Certainly close cousins.

Sorry, all the info I have on this piece is what administration has posted in the link provided. I've never seen another example of this watch and as administration says they seem to be rare. I really can't say one way or the other if yours is real or not. It certainly appears that your watch could have some basis in reality and I think the movement that you described would be appropriate for this watch as well. Did you happen to find any other markings inside the caseback or on the movement itself that could help?

The troubling thing for me is the titanium marking on the caseback and as Aleister says it seems to be trying to push the case for authenticity. An interesting thought I had though was the name of the watch "Titan Gold". I was wondering instead of the normal reference to the moon of Saturn or the mythological reference if this could also be a play on words for Titanium? Just a thought. Probably reaching a bit too far there.

That's all I know about this. Maybe others could will have other thoughts or opinions.

Hi anyone here got any information on this particular model please, I'm very interested in finding out more, I have emailed Breitling directly but have had no response what so ever, thanks in advance for your assistance.

Just thought I would add further information to this post regarding authenticity of this watch, This was one of several watches ( including a platinum diamond encrusted Rolex Day-Date ) personally presented to me by Sultan Qaboos bin said al said of Oman, many years ago, so I have no reason to think its a fake it bears the Royal Oman crest as does the Rolex and other watches. I'm certain the Sultan of Oman would not be giving out fakes. Here is another example of a Royal watch I found online
