The original, unrestored silvered dial is simply beautiful and is in superb clean condition, with no significant wear at all. It is signed 'Breitling', 'Geneve', 'Top Time' and 'Swiss made'. The original hands, including flyback centre seconds hand, are in excellent unbent condition and the lens is very clear.

The original hand-wound Breitling Venus 17 jewel movement is in excellent clean condition, and is fully and correctly signed. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in very good working order for its age with all functions working correctly. The flyback centre seconds hand returns crisply to the 12 position.

This lovely watch is on a quality Hirsch leather strap, which suits it perfectly, and comes complete with a new, quality presentation case, for safekeeping.
