In 1969 Breitling started with their ‘big case’ Chrono-Matic series driven by a cal. Breitling 11 movement (that was developed together with Heuer, Hamilton-Büren and Dubois-Dépraz), one of the first automatic chronograph movements with a date window at 6 o’clock and the crown at 9 o’clock.
On this special edition produced in small number you will see the lovely logo of the Morgan Plus 8. Morgan is a small English family-owned car manufacturer known for their commitment to vintage design language. Breitling produced a small number of these pieces exclusively for the Morgan Drivers Club in Europe. This outstanding time-capsule example is one of them.
The case back still has the purple protective coating intact and is in unworn condition. The serial number dates the case to 1977. The signed, Breitling Cal. 12 movement was recently cleaned and serviced by our watchmaker.
Recent market transactions for this model were €5,900 (Shuck the Oyster, Berlin) and there is one (not NOS) for sale by Watches of Switzerland for $6,850.
