1940s Breitling Premier 787 18ct Gold

This Breitling Premier 787 dates to the 1940s and represents the style and craftsmanship associated with early Breitling chronographs. The dial features Arabic numerals, centre seconds and three subsidiary dials for seconds, minutes and hours.

An outer tachymeter scale completes the period layout. The 18ct gold case carries the serial number 661355 and contains a 17 jewel manual-wind movement. The dial shows patina consistent with its age and adds to the character of the watch.

Interesting Fact: Premier models from this period were positioned as Breitling’s refined chronographs, with many pieces showing distinctive dial layouts that are now closely linked to the brand’s early design identity.
