CASE & BRACELET
The case shows the original factory finishing and case chamfering believed to be unpolished. The pushers and crown are early, and original to the watch as most examples from 1965 possess a non-signed crown. The bezel remains black and shows a very light patina from light use. The Breitling SuperOcean engraved caseback, and reference numbers are deep and highly visible, further confirming the case's unpolished condition. The watch will come supplied on a handmade two-piece leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The highly visible "panda" like dial remains in wonderful vintage condition showing no scratches or blemishes. The matte black center portion of the dial paired with the bright white outer minute track is downright stunning. The chronograph function indicator located above the 6 o'clock marker remains in wonderful condition showing no lume degradation or discoloration when inspected under UV light. The lume plots on the dial remain fully intact and have achieved a warm patina. The hands appear to have been relumed on the surface in the past with tritium. We chose to leave the hands as finding replacements is nearly impossible, and it also adds to the watches' story and visual history.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch is in perfect working order; previous service history is unknown.
