Here is a collectible Breitling: the Vintage Chronomat, reference 769, featuring the patent inscription "217 012" on the dial—filed in 1940 by Willy Breitling.
Its 36 mm stainless steel case houses a well-preserved black dial, surrounded by the model’s characteristic markings and rotating slide rule bezel. Both the dial and hands are in excellent condition. The layout includes two sub-dials for the chronograph function, along with a large central red chronograph hand.
It is powered by the iconic Venus 175, a hand-wound chronograph movement with 17 jewels. It runs at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 45 hours.
This collectible chronograph comes with our 6-month timekeeping warranty.
