This was a present from my wife 2 years ago on Christmas, I think its a Yacht timer or starter but apart from that no history of it or movement knowledge or value as it re surfaced yesterday while I was looking though my collection. I thought to myself that information like this sits in a tree called 3T..... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited on Fri Apr 30th, 2010 01:06 pm by ndburley |

I think Nic (Nabco) and Simon can help out on this. Neo, this looks circa late 70s to me, though. |

I would agree with Jeff, this is vintage 1960's or 70's. Would also agree it is some kind of timing device. Neo, does it have a stop watch function? It's a cool piece woohoo.gif |

first click sets the second hand going and every minute the little dial moves, second click stops it and the 3rd resets. |

Neo, check out this forum, looks like they might be able to help you out. Based on what I could find out this 7 Jewel Chronograph (that how Breitling refers to a stopwatch movement) movement was common in several of their stopwatches...this forum should be able to give you more detail... |

The movement is a Valjoux 320 - you can see the number on the movement and the letter in the shield is the factory mark for Valjoux. These pieces aren't particularly valuable unfortunately, If there is a serial number on the caseback we may be able to date it for you, I'm guessing 1970s. |

That's good info, did you get it from the Breitling Forum |
