This sports chronograph is a magnificent example of the highly sought-after Breitling big case "Unitime" reference 1765, which was introduced in the 1960's, as a tool watch expressly designed for pilots. The charismatic timepiece with its reverse panda dial - black dial with silvered sub dials - and the 24-hour rotating bezel only rarely comes on the market.
