    Hi to all fellow members.

    Can someone help me identify the reference of this vintage (1960s) Breitling chronograph?

    Thanks. Much appreciated.

    Are you sure that’s a Breitling ?

    Looks like it is based on a Valjoux 92 movement. Very distinctive for the 45 minute chrono counter.

    Looking at the subdials - Isn't it more early 70s than 60s?

    Could be Landeron or others. Not just the Val 92 with a 45 minute counter.

    Yeah, Landeron 248 is a good call. But I think I'd put my money on a Valjoux 7733 being in there.

    And that logo screams non-original.

    I'd suggest you walk away unless the authenticity doesn't bother you.
