Chronomat
7808
Classic retro vintage Breitling chronograph with slide rule calculator.
The Chronomat with its rotating slide rule was first patented in 1941
offering an engineering and mathematical tool for the wrist.
It is rare to find a correct example of the later 1970s reference 7808 like this one. They often have incorrect reference case backs and hands with new old stock parts being thrown together.
