Why this watch.

Mid‑1950s Breitling dress watch

A restrained mid‑1950s Breitling dress watch, reference 285-24, presenting a slim bezel and original silver Arabic‑numeral dial within a gold‑plated case and steel back. The proportions (36 mm, 43 mm lug‑to‑lug) reflect the era’s understated elegance, finished with a period acrylic crystal and signed crown. Inside sits the hand‑wound cal.1113 with Incabloc shock protection and 17 jewels, a straightforward, serviceable movement typical of Breitling’s mid‑century output. For a contemporary collector it offers a wearable example of 1950s finishing and mechanics, complemented by period correctness and documented service history.
