81950 Breitling, does hold up diving

MyVintageOmega · Oct 26, 2019

Have just completed over 200 hours of diving in the Philippines, average depth at 40 meters and I swore I would wear my 18k gold accent Chronomat full time as my divers watch and risk the consequences if any. I am extremely happy to report, all is well (with all pushers tight) and running perfectly...cheers.

Nice. They usually have no problems with 10 atm pressure tests with fresh gaskets.
Cool to see it handled it well.

Wow. How nice to see the (early) modern
(1982-86 )reintroduction of the Chronomat...
Being used for more than desk diving ..seeing those rider tabs around the bezel ( first time ever) and the onion pushers with these 80s watches instantly identify it as a Breitling. Your watch put Breitling back on the map after a terrible hiatus post quartz era... I’ve got the circa 2000 model D13350 ..with the marine influenced Breitling logo and the last year “chronomat” was written on dial. OP, Send a pic of your case back. Awesome watch!!

Mine says hello and is jealous yours goes diving w you. Lol

Nice one. My Breitling is a 1979 as shown in this thread I would consider selling. Just a bump to see if there is any interests. Definitely will let it go as I have no Family to leave it to and don't wear a watch in the Philippines. Not a quality one anyways.
