The Breitling Watch Source Forums

did Breitling ever used a Venus 195 ?

not documented, moonphase chronos are Valjoux R88, Venus 184

but that watch has so many problems that movement dicussions are futile, total fake.

and Venus 187 and Venus 200 ?


I think, Venus actually produced the calibre Venus 195 for Breitling, but Breitling had not installed it in series.

here I found a similar Venus watch with Breitling signed movement.

That site is hardly credible for anything to do with Breitlings.

Here we go again......

Didn't get past the Lounge bit

Still don't buy in to a 195 exclusively produced for Breitling but never used though.

neither

Breitling used the Venus calibre 195, which stil where in stock, later for the "Schneider Re-Edition" Datoras

another unproven story. Breitling sold off it's complete stock of watches, cases, dials, movements, machinery in the late 1970s - well documented. Schneider bought the name and some production rights. But somewhere someone hid several dozen of high grade movements - some never used by Breitling like the Eberhard - that just happened to be found decades later - nobody ever told us where and how ......

And never will.

I have seen before a lot of this Scheider Re-Editions" with original Breitling papers.

Nothing there that proves who generated the reissued ones. Assumption 3 years ago was Schneider, but no one knows.

Yes Roff, but you can find these also in Benno Richter, on page 129
