Collector Notes & Dating
The Breitling TransOcean Chronometre with reference 11080 and automatic caliber 1903 sits stylistically in the late 1960s, with its slim 34 mm waterproof steel case, baton markers and framed date window matching Breitling’s Geneva-era dress chronometers of that period. The movement serial 1•••• supports a late-1960s production window consistent with this configuration.
For collectors this model is appealing because it brings chronometer-grade accuracy to a clean three-hand format, far removed from the brand’s better-known tool chronographs yet sharing the same focus on reliability and anti-magnetic construction aimed at frequent travellers.
An additional curiosity is the “SUSPENSE” wording on the screw-down caseback, a rarely seen marketing name used on some waterproof cases of the era, adding a small layer of intrigue compared to more commonly encountered TransOcean signatures.
Fresh servicing in 11/2025 means the watch is ready to wear while preserving its original, unrestored silver sunburst dial and period-correct unsigned crown, a combination that will appeal to enthusiasts who value authenticity over heavy refurbishment.

Omega 43 Years Old Vintage Omega Equinoxe Reverso /Ref. 1860013 / Cal. 1655 / Vintage 1981
From start to finish the transaction was straight forward and smooth. The watch arrived well packed and in the exact condition described. I only recently became interested in "vintage" watches and EVW is a great resource for quality pieces. I already purchased a second and when I find something I like I will gladly purchase again. Thank you Lukasz.
I absolutely love the gorgeous vintage watch I bought from EVW! It’s amazing to be able to wear a watch that is 119 years old. I often wonder what life was like for the original owner in 1906. The watch was delivered very quickly by DHL and was packaged well. A great buying experience!
63 Years Old Vintage Omega Gold plated / Ref. 14395 61 SC / Cal. 285 (30T2) / Vintage 1961
I am so happy with this purchase! Communication was super easy with EVW and they negotiated on price. Upon receiving the watch, I was simply stunned. The condition of restoration is incredible. The gold case is flawless, the case back is perfect, and the dial has only 1 small imperfection (pictured in listing, expected). For a watch from 1982, this is amazing. The Caliber 1110 movement is working very smoothly. The quick-set date is great, and the power reserve is too.
EVW always has an incredible selection of amazing vintage pieces at fair prices with super fast and reliable shipping.
