This vintage timepiece features the original silvered multiscale dial with Arabic numerals and syringe hands. The dial's pronounced age spotting and darkening add character to its honest patina, while maintaining readability. The classic 12 and 6 register format, with a 45-minute recorder at 12 and running seconds at 6, aligns with the correct Venus 170 movement architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 35 mm steel case, along with a 42 mm lug-to-lug span, rectangular chronograph pushers, and a signed Breitling crown, reflects the compact mid-1940s Breitling chronograph aesthetic. The acrylic crystal is period-correct, and the watch is complemented by a brown calf leather strap. Representing Breitling's pre-Navitimer chronograph language, this piece embodies the brand's sporting chronographs defined by compact cases, multiscale dials, and manual column-wheel movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBrand and Model: Breitling Chronograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eReference: 178\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCase Material: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCase Size: 35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLug-to-Lug: 42 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThickness: 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDial: Original silvered multiscale dial with heavy patina and age spotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCrystal: Acrylic (period-correct)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCrown: Signed Breitling crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStrap or Bracelet: Brown calf leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMovement: Venus 170, Manual-wind column-wheel chronograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eJewels: 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMovement Serial: 5881••\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEstimated Production: Circa 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWater Resistance: Splash Water Resistant (handwashing ok, not showering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLast Service Date: 10-03-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox\/Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure black travel watch case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Invoice and our service certificate worth €369 — included free of charge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🚚 Shipping, Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsured worldwide shipping. 14-day inspection (unused, seals intact).
