The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi Guys,

I've just recently purchased this watch. A quick thank you to "WatchFred" for his help with this.

It should be with me in a week or so, I'm just waiting for something to sell from my current collection.

I took some pics. after putting a deposit on it.

Ref. No. 2105.3. Fred tells me it's one of Roy Geweniger OWJ stock pieces.

Is there a chance it sat next to Fred's in the watch box?

48mm, Cal.12, early seventies. Countdown sub dial at 3 and hour counter at 9, oversized pushers and a screw down crown at 9, 20 ATM.

I'm hoping Fred will add some more information.

I'm pretty excited about this one.

Have a great weekend.

Its a stunner.

well, can't really add too much, Donald - besides: congratulations !
beautiful piece, great condition; yes, it might have sat in that safe next to mine, untouched for more than 20 years.

Any other manufacturer would have issued a (nicely done & respectful) tribute to the 1969 SuperOcean Chrono-Matic with great fanfare, would have featured it as a core example of a proud heritage - it was clearly the first 20ATM Automatic Diving Chronograph in production, Zenith followed with their El Primero ref. A3822 in 1972 only; Breitling most probably forgot it existed

wear it in health & pride !

Thanks buddman.

Thanks Fred.

I found this on the net, interesting, I've never seen No. 2 before. No. 3 being the one I just purchased.

Also, an interesting pic. of the mechanicals of the inner and outer bezel.

#2 is the "running seconds" ref. 2005; the last variation of that model, had a Yachting bezel as an option, there's one for sale here at a rather optimistic price; has a different definition of mint than I do.

What is the background of these watches that appear from time to time with the white price sticker on the reverse. Were they sold by O&W?

no, not O&W. OWJ=Old World Jeweller.
nice story.

There's a write up somewhere, maybe Fred has the link, if not, I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks Fred, on the Button.

I mentioned before I bought a 7013 from OWJ and sold, not clever.

Ok, yes. I've read about them before but didn't know the connection to the price stickers. Thanks!

Fred has more here are the ads from 2003 and 2004. might give you an indication how some of the prices have evolved.

I wish I had been more wise.

I bought my 7013 in 2009, not much more than listed in your ads.

I'm sure they would be a lot more now.

Love the Chrono-matic Superocean! I bought the last 7104 OWJ had a couple of years ago off Ebay. Probably should have kept that one.

Looks great, if only we had known better.

What size was it?
