Breitling Chronomat 769 Features:

For many, the Breitling 769 Chronomat represents the epitome of vintage watch collecting.  The Chronomat’s rotating slide rule function was truly a revelation in it’s day.  Scientists, engineers and mathematicians had the ability to perform complex calculations decades before the invention of the hand held calculator.   This watch was produced just after the end of World War II making it useful for many as they begun to rebuild what was lost.  This Slide Rule Dial Can Perform Many Calculations and can be Used as a Tachometer, Speedometer, Telemeter, Pulsimeter, Metronome, Production Counter, and for Mathematical Calculations including Multiplication, Division and for Calculating percentages, Prices, Fuel Consumption, Interest and Rate of Exchange.  It Can Even Be Used In Meteorology to Calculate Cloud Speed.  But Can It Core A Apple?

This Chronomat features an original dial, 18K Gold Case, and Venus 175 Breiting signed movement.  This watch is signed Breitling on the dial, case and movement.
