Vintage Chronomat ref. 0818 W/Venus 178

Just back from a complete overhaul including a new factory acrylic Crystal. Very much enjoying this "Big Case" (48mm) vintage circa 1969 Breitling Chronomat three register chronograph. Waiting for a custom leather strap from Peter at Gunny Straps...rockin a comfortable matching Nato for now.

Nice. Will definitely look good on a leather strap

Thanks. I agree that a Leather strap will be the best combination. I am anxiously awaiting a custom black strap from Gunny Straps and will post an updated wrist shot after it arrives.
