The Breitling Chronomat ref. 81950 is one of the most representative models of the relaunch of the brand in the 80s, when it resurfaced with a more robust and technical aesthetic focused on the world of aviation and sport. This reference stands out for being one of the first to incorporate the characteristic "rider tabs" and a two-tone design.

In the description of the watches when it is marked "in running condition" it means that the watch is in operation. Since collector's watches often have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general service, overhaul, battery change, adjustment or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers, that is to say, we do not work with stock photography and that is why the photographs are considered part of the cataloging.
