This is vintage-ish I suppose, as it's getting close to 20 years old and it's an interesting take on the triple-date, moonphase chronograph. The movement is a Breitling Cal.19 which is comprised of an ETA 2824 to provide power supply, with everything else provided by a custom module made by Dubois-Depraz. The triple date complication is a four-year calendar.

Wow, that's a very fine specimen! 🥰

I'd like to 'Dibs' it, but I fear it may be futile... 🤔

DIBS anyway, please! 😜

35mm, excluding crown.

Amazing. Obviously yours is in much nicer condition, but I see a lot of similarities in the dial with mine. Even though mine is at least 37mm.

It looks to me like Omega used the SAME Moonphase/Calendar discs for both the 35mm and 37mm case sizes, so that proportionately, they look bigger in the smaller case sizes.

It's not surprising. The same can be said for Universal Geneve Tri-Compax's and triple calendar moonphase's. And also Jaeger Lecoultre triple calendar moonphases. In fact - it probably is true for nearly every vintage moonphase manufacturer.
