Contact Us * Required Send me the Report Via Email Fax Contact Specialist Cancel Manufacturer : Breitling Year : Circa 1967 Reference No : 2005 Case No : 1’155’528 Model Name : Superocean, "Slow Moving Chronograph" Material : Stainless steel Calibre : Manual, cal. 7731, 17 jewels Bracelet/Strap : Leather Clasp/Buckle : Stainless steel buckle Dimensions : 40 mm diameter Signed : Case, dial and movement signed Catalogue Essay Launched in the 1960s, Breitling’s Superocean reference 2005 was very well received and achieved overnight success. Unlike most chronograph watches which feature a hand that displays a seconds-counter, the present watch has a distinctive feature that distinguishes itself from its peers – an intriguing chronograph complication with a single hand counting elapsed minutes. This model is often referred to as “Slow Moving Chronograph”, due to the fact that it only counts minutes. The window at 6 o'clock shows a black circle when the chronograph is not running, a white circle when activated, and a small dot when stopped. The present watch was also fitted with a seconds subsidiary register at 9 o’clock. The reference 2005 features a Venus 188 caliber manual movement housed in a beautiful, slick stainless steel case. The present watch is in great condition and is a true rarity in the secondary market. Read More Maker Bio Breitling Swiss • 1884 Follow The firm started by Leon Breitling in 1884 is best known for its technical aviation and oceanic watches. Today, all models are outfitted with certified chronometer movements, used for accurate timing. Early aviation pioneers in specialized chronograph timepieces, Breitling introduced the circular slide rule to watches in the 1940s for use by pilots. The firm’s most iconic chronograph, the Navitimer, was introduced in 1954 and continues to be manufactured today. Another key model is the Duograph, a split-seconds chronograph that was Breitling's most prestigious wristwatch during the 1940s through '60s. Their watches are built on their reputation for precision and sturdiness. View More Works
