Breitling Gilt Glossy Reference 777 Chronograph Unpolished

This Breitling chronograph reference 777 is an awesome example with an unpolished steel case. The gilt glossy dial is very attractive with a gold-colored minutes/seconds track and a copper-colored outer tachymeter track. The serial number places it into the circa late 1943 to early 1944 range. The KOS import code on the movement signifies that it was imported by Paul Buhre to the United States, which makes sense. The dial has an attractive and small “ANTI-CHOC” signature above 6:00 for the anti-shock capabilities of the Venus movement.

The watch does not come with box and papers. It was recently serviced and is running well.
