Breitling Chronomat Ref. 808 in condition like new and preserved in outstanding original condition. The Breitling Chronomat Ref. 808 is one of the most important vintage chronographs ever produced by the brand and a remarkable example of Breitling’s technical innovation during the 1960s. Equipped with the characteristic slide-rule bezel, which allowed complex calculations to be performed directly on the wrist long before the Navitimer became famous, the Chronomat occupies a special place in Breitling’s history. Powered by the legendary Venus 175 manual-winding movement and housed in an elegant 37 mm stainless steel case with a gold-capped finish, it combines functionality with timeless aesthetics in a truly distinctive way. Its exceptionally well-preserved original condition makes this Ref. 808 a rare opportunity for collectors of classic chronographs and enthusiasts of historic Breitling timepieces.

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
