A wonderful early-1970s Breitling 7651 (DDE BR 1525/67) featuring the legendary Chronomatic movement. At the time, this watch was considered exceptionally large, yet today its 48 mm case simply gives it a bold and commanding presence. Despite its impressive dimensions, it remains highly wearable rather than just a collector’s safe queen. The black PVD bezel adds an especially cool and distinctive touch.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Breitling and Heuer dominated the chronograph world, Breitling leading the European aviation market, while Heuer conquered the American automotive scene. It therefore came as quite a surprise when these longtime rivals joined forces in the famous “Project 99” collaboration to develop one of the world’s very first automatic chronograph movements. The story behind Project 99 is a fascinating chapter in horological history, and this remarkable watch is a direct result of that groundbreaking partnership.

As you can clearly see in the photos, the condition is exceptionally well preserved for its age. It fits wrists up to 20.5 cm in circumference.

NOTE: There is an engraving on the case back from the previous owner.
