Breitling used Wakmann as their United States distributor for many years in the 1950's and 60's and this one - as were many others like it - were co-produced by a number of other Swiss companies. This one is double signed as "Dolmy Watch Ltd" on the outside of the screw-down caseback, as well as on the bridge of the movement inside.
This watch was movement was introduced in the mid 70s as an affordable chronograph alternative to compete with the quartz watches of that era. You which kind of watches won that battle at that time. Nevertheless hat we have here is a cool affordable incredible funky looking piece with a gorgeous blue dial. It’s just marvelous 70s show!
