This model is not commonly seen and certainly not in this condition, all original. The case is unpolished and is in tremendous condition showing a fat shiny bevel along the perimeter of the steel case. It mixes chunky, sporty and a bit of svelte elegance, if that’s possible. This one is colorful and complex, starting with the dark blue dial. You’ll find the chronograph hands in safety-pink/orange, the hour and minute in a powdery blue tone with black inner detailing, along with some yellow, black and red details, very 1970’s. Amazingly Breitling manages 3, (yes three) different scales on the inner bezel – Pulsometric/Pulsometer, Tachymeter and 1/100 of minute, all subtly placed and not too busy at all.
