Specific conditions of sale:
Please note that all watches are sold as is. No guarantee is made on the working order, so a service is recommended. Some watches have been opened to identify the type and quality of the movement, including water-resistant watches, so the buyer is advised to consult a watchmaker to review the water-resistance of the watch.
The Montbrillant chronograph has a style inspired by the 1940s-1950s and the iconic circular slide rule for aviators. It is named after the building in the Montbrillant lane in La Chaux-de-Fonds, which housed the Breitling workshops for almost a century. These workshops produced the famous on-board chronographs that combined the brand's image with that of aviation.
Lot from a voluntary sale.
