About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes, manuals, limited edition cert & dated paper with factory warranty till May 2011. This is a one owner's watch & according to him, there was no discount given for this limited edition & even if do, very little unlike the usual 25% we receive on normal Breitlings. This is a huge & very attractive watch with the stunning gloss black dial with contrasting luminous hour nos. The 24hrs dial fits the LeMans 24hours race perfectly. One revolution on the hour hand is a day which a normal watch takes two 12hours to complete so read the time carefully on this watch.

This is a limited edition of just 2000pcs made with Bentley to commemorate the Speed 8 LeMans race car which has it's image on the back cover of the watch.

This dial was made famous by Breitling when it was used by a Nasa astronaut in their space mission in the 1962 where you don't get days or nights in space so the 24hours dial made perfect sense. Please read here for a more complete history on the development of the famous 24hrs dial.

Watch is in very good condition & never polished. It has some very light surface wear only & nothing major.
