1974 Breitling Top Time Chronograph (Ref. 815) "Long Playing" Box + Papers

In this episode of “What Is On My Wrist” Cam discusses a true time capsule piece, this elusive Breitling 815 chronograph features its original box, papers, and pamphlets. Boasting an oversized 38mm case and a stunning silver “panda” dial that features a unique blue tone, the overall condition on this ref. 815 is absolutely superb. The nickname “Long Playing” holds true when referring to the Breitling ref. 815 Top Time. With the addition of an extra-long mainspring implemented into the Valjoux 7736 manual wind movement, the power reserve is an extensive 52hrs. The ref. 815 also introduced the 12-hour recorder to the Top Time chronographs.
