Breitling Chronomat Reference 769 Unpolished

I’m thrilled to offer this amazing watch. The Chronomat is one of the ingenious timepieces deveveped by Breitling in 1941. These watches were advertised as the toolwatch for "mathematicians, businessmen, and engineers" with a logarithmic circular slide-rule. The patent was registered in 1940 by the manufacturer’s visionary Willy Breitling. This reference 769 is Venus calibre 175. The case is in outstanding condition and remains unpolished. The case measures 35mm in diameter (43mm lug-to-lug). The dial is very well preserved.

For those who are not familiar with the incredible heritage of Breiting, we encourage you to watch the linked video featuring Breitling’s Historian Fred Mandelbaum. We have become very enthusiastic about vintage Breitling watches over the past two years, and feel their catalog deserves more attention from discerning collectors.

We do not know the service history, but it is running well. For those that admire innovative timepieces, this watch is an absolute gem. The watch is sold on leather strap. We think it would look fantastic on a vintage GF bracelet. If you would like to add one, please don’t hesitate to ask and we can send options for an additional expense.
