Description
Steel Breitling Ref. 1450 vintage wristwatch, circa 1975
A large stainless steel 3-register chronograph wristwatch with tachymeter
This Breitling chronograph wristwatch is in exceptional condition and appears to be almost unused. The steel case is very large for a vintage wristwatch and retains the original, crisp, satin and polished finishes; it is especially rare to find the original finishes on a multi-faceted, multi-finished case from this period. The black matte dial is equally stunning with luminescent baton numerals and hands and three silvered and finely engine-turned subsidiary dials for constant/subsidiary seconds, chronograph minute and hour recording.
