1950s Breitling Sprint Chronograph 18ct Yellow Gold Venus 188 37mm
Here we have a classic 1950s Breitling Sprint Manual Venus 188 featuring a 37mm round 18ct Yellow Gold case that gently curves over your wrist with fine tapered lugs. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 44mm and a case thickness of 12mm, ensuring a comfortable fit. On the right side, rectangular chronograph pushers and a large domed coin-edged crown in the centre. A thin bezel holds a domed crystal above a silver dial. A blue outer KM/H Tachymeter scale surrounds a precisely executed minute scale, and a red KM Telemetre scale. Gold-toned Arabic numerals mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a 30-minute register and at 9 o’clock, a 60-second register, both slightly recessed with a concentric circular pattern. Slender gold-toned hands are complemented by a fine, tapered chronograph hand. At noon, we have the Brietling Sprint motif. On the reverse, a snap on the case back. Inside a manually wound Breitling Signed Venus 188, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour. This workhorse movement was manufactured from 1948 until 1966, when Valjoux absorbed Venus, renaming the 188 the Valjoux 7730. It comes paired with a well-suited 20mm leather strap and pin buckle.
