Breitling Colt Automatic A17035

For sale is a Breitling Colt Automatic ref. A17035 from 1997. The Colt was designed as a military watch in the 1980s, with a practical emphasis on robustness, functionality, and readability. Since then, it has become one of Breitling's most iconic and popular watch models prior to its discontinuation in 2020. This reference A17035 features a perfectly proportioned 38 mm stainless steel case and a water resistance of 300 meters with a screwdown crown. It is powered by the Breitling 17 automatic movement, based on the ETA 2824-2. It also includes a date complication, a uni-directional bezel for precise timing, and a solid stainless steel bracelet with a micro-adjustable clasp and security lock for diving. IMPORTANT: Please note that the internal bezel spring needs to be replaced, as the bezel is not clicking and makes a small rattling noise. Furthermore, the lume at the 12 o'clock position has fallen out. The low price reflects these factors, which should be easy for any watchmaker to fix.
