This Breitling has a great dial and is in excellent condition, even if it is a bit on the dainty side, size-wise. Like many manufacturers at the time, Breitling relied on ébauche movements, and the manual wind FHF 28 in this watch was no exception. It was actually quite an innovative movement for the time, with a direct drive for the center second hand.
*Please note that visible serial numbers on the case and movement have been partially or fully hidden with AI masking.
