The Breitling Watch Source Forums

it is a '43, not a '45, would like to see a movement shot, but rest seems authentic.

Thanks Fred. What diameter are these and what's the marks on the outer diameter(white part) of the dial from 3 to 6 O" Clock wen zoomed? Whats a reasonable price for them?

diameter is around 35.5, varies a little, as the 18k bezels are slightly different, wear quite large due to the relatively large dial and very slim bezels, more so on the 18k.

have seen them sell between $3k and up to $4.5k, sometimes a bit below for badly listed and photographed "finds" - always factor in servicing charges, they rarely if ever come with a service history.

"almost perfect condition in the listing should be read with an emphasis on the "almost"; here you have one with a truly readable dial, should give you all the inscriptions.



btw., contrary to what the seller claims, these are really very rare in plated versions, so either they just did not survive or this high end watch sold better in solid gold, even during the war years.

The Chronomat 769 truly was the ancestor to all other sliderule Breitlings, the design actually lives on with relatively minimal changes in the current Monty 01s.

Thanks for the info Fred, wow, your one looks really beautiful and clean unlike that one. Am sure that was not a recent acquisition because it will be impossible to find one in that condition anymore?

not impossible.
