    Up for sale is a vintage Breitling transOcean in lovely condition.

    As far as I can tell the watch is original in all of its parts. Dial, crown, case back and movement are correctly signed and period correct. The case still displays the factory finish with very sharp lines and signs of wear. Same goes for the case back with the twin jet engraving that’s very crisp and I believe it has never been polished. The dial has a metallic tone with a circular brushed finished some patina but no dings and dents. Please have a look at the pictures to assess the condition yourself. I tried my best to photograph it in different lighting to bring out all the details.

    I feel this model was Breitling's approach to create a sporty dress watch similar to the Rolex Datejust. It wears quite similar with a ~35mm case and longish lyre lugs. The watch runs good and I wore it in rotation with my other watches without any issues. However the service history is unknown to me. So if you intend to use it as a daily/only watch please consider a service at some point.

    Feel free to contact me with any further questions you might have.

    Price is €1500 plus shipment of your choice and the watch is located in the EU.

    We don't need to see your identification...

    BTW, do you have a pic of inside of the case back?
