If it was good enough for Jean-Claude Killy and Ms Welch…
This Breitling is a big watch with a big history, having been the wrist choice of Raquel Welch and also Jean-Claude Killy at the Grenoble Olympics. The ‘reverse-panda’ dial is in outstanding all original condition with clean silver sub dials and lovely patina on the hour markers.
The case remains in fantastic condition throughout. The oversized sub dial at three o’clock features a 15-minute counter, which is the standard time for plane ground checks and features further three-minute interval markings that resemble a star. The black aluminium bezel is in very good condition and has a dual scale – it can measure both elapsed hours (12) and also seconds/minutes. The manual wind movement is a Breitling modified Venus calibre 178.
The watch is fitted with the original ‘Large B’ Breitling winding crown. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and will come on a Bulang and Sons strap.
