DESCRIPTION
Breitling Chronomat 81950 AOPA Dial - very rare! Made in stainless steel, this was the 1st Series 100M watch. It has a very rare dial; it features a symbol that looks like the AOPA symbol but is modified to be a 'B' with wings. This was the very first production of the Chronomat in 1984; it was released along with the limited edition Pan Fleece Tri-Colour, but this turned out to be the much rarer watch. Produced in around 500 examples, Breitling switched dials after 1984 and these early 81950s were the only ones with this dial. The case is the standard stainless steel chronomat type with rotating bezel and screw back. The movement is an ETA 7750 automatic chronograph which runs and functions. A real collectable rarity in original, unpolished condition.
