Circa: 1973 Condition: Very fine example of the Breitling Long Playing chronograph. The watch is in excellent condition and appears to be unpolished with factory finish lines extending perfectly from the top of the case to between the lugs. Very few tiny soft dings which are nearly imperceptible. Mineral glass crystal is flawless. Nearly perfect dial with just a bit of the tritium cap off of the 3 marker. Certainly the nicest example of this model we have ever seen. The watch sets, runs and the chronograph function operates but the service history is unknown and a fresh service is recommended for exact timekeeping and everyday use. *Heritage Auctions strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
