SUMMARY

The Montbrillant Olympus encapsulates Breitling’s history in aviation and highlights its ability to craft tool watches with genuine utility. The 42mm stainless steel case of this 2008 example measures 42mm in diameter, creating plenty of dial space to incorporate its myriad of functions, including the slide rule scale which Breitling has become synonymous with. The watch takes on a vintage-inspired aesthetic with a beaded bezel, evoking the look of old Navtimers from the 1950s. Internally, the watch is powered by the calibre B19, which features a modular vertical clutch chronograph, and is chronometer certified. 

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request. 

Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
