Vintage Breitling Chronomat 18k Yellow Gold Hand Wind Men's Watch Ref. 769

Product Description

This vintage Breitling Chronomat Ref. 769 is an exceptionally rare early chronograph, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and powered by the legendary manual-wind Venus 175 movement. It features Breitling’s patented circular slide rule bezel, an innovative function that predated and inspired the iconic Navitimer. The watch is entirely original and correct, including the dial, hands, pushers, and signed crown — a true survivor from the 1940s. The 36mm case wears elegantly, with subtle patina and character that reflects its history and authenticity. A coveted collector's piece, this Chronomat is both a mechanical milestone and a wearable work of horological art.
