SOLD OUT: Breitling Premier 42mm B01 Chronograph AB011 British Racing Green Dial Box Papers

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

When it was introduced in the 1940's the Breliting Premier was one of the first Breitling models made purely for civilians. The Premier model was different than the usual tool models Breitling churn out for aviatiors and divers. "Instruments for Professionals" has always been Breitling's slogan. The Premier was the first Breitling model dedicated to everyday elegance. Georges Kern, the company’s CEO, says it best: “This is the first modern Breitling collection dedicated to everyday elegance. With outstanding quality and performance, these watches bear our unmistakable brand DNA, but they have been created with a focus on style that beautifully complements their purpose”.

Among the chronographs, the Premier B01 42 is the flagship watch in the collection and is powered by Breitling’s in-house B01 chronograph calibre, which has 70 hours of power reserve. This particular watch is the Bentley Mode, and shows off a beautiful British Racing Green colour on the dial. The watch is 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm thick, 49.7mm lug to lug with 22mm spacing between the lugs. The bracelet is the classic 7 link all polished Breitling bracelet. Dial side we have that beautiful green dial, showing off two indices, one for a running seconds and one 30 minute counter.

One the wrist I would say this watch wears large, but retains comfort due to the reasonable lug to lug and the comfortable bracelet. It's big enough where you'll always know it's there, but not so big that it bothers your wrist. I don't think i could pull this watch off on a strap due to the thickness. I love the shade of green used on the dial. It's dark green or olive green depending on the lighting. The in-house B01 chronograph is a pleasure to activate. You can tell a lot of work went into these in-house movements. I would say this is a great all around Breitling sports watch, that could be worn in multiple settings, and is not too large, or too sporty unlike a lot of Breilting's other offerings.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breilting Dealer in 2020, was registered with Breitling, and is under Warranty until 2025. The watch is in overall Near Mint Condition, with minor wear, mostly on the deployment clasp (see pics). The watch comes with the full set of Box and Papers, including warranty card and extra links.

SOLD OUT: Breitling Premier B25 Datora AB2510 42MM Chronograph Calendar Salmon Dial Steel Box and Papers 2022

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Breitling Premier, introduced in the 1940s, holds a special place in Breitling's history as the first line of elegant and sophisticated watches specifically designed for everyday wear. It marked a departure from Breitling's focus on functional, aviation-inspired timepieces. The Premier showcased Breitling's expertise in producing stylish, reliable, and precise wristwatches. In 2018, the brand revitalized the Premier collection, featuring models such as the Premier B01 Chronograph 42, Premier Automatic 40, and Premier Chronograph 42. These modern timepieces maintain the heritage of the original line while incorporating contemporary design elements and innovative technology.

The Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 is a special watch that combines classic design with modern technology. The dial of the watch is clean and uncluttered, with a vintage-inspired design that adds to its appeal. The case is made from high-quality stainless steel and is water resistant up to 100 meters. Overall, the Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 is a watch that combines style, functionality, and advanced features in a unique and sophisticated package.

The Breitling AB2510 features the in-house Caliber B25, an automatic chronograph movement. With 46 jewels, it boasts a power reserve of 48 hours and oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The B25 movement incorporates a column-wheel mechanism and a vertical clutch, ensuring precision and reliability in timekeeping.

On this wrist, this watch wears true to its 42mm sizing and has a lot of weight to it due to the 15mm thickness. The copper salmon dial feels like a special treat and is pretty legible despite the busyness of the dial. The dial's got everything I could need: a full calendar and a chronograph. I can tell Breilting spent a lot of time in R&D on this movement. Everything from the full calendar to how the crown winds and the pushers activate screams quality.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized Breilting AD and comes with the full set of box and papers as seen in the pictures. The watch was worn only a handful of times and is in Near Mint Condition. This watch is registered and under Breitling factory warranty until 2027. The watch retails for $13,500.

SOLD OUT: Breitling SuperOcean Chronograph A13320 46MM Chronograph Black Dial Steel Box 2013

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Breitling SuperOcean, introduced in 1957, is a Swiss luxury dive watch known for its reliability, functionality, and aesthetics. It was designed to meet the demands of professional divers, featuring water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel. Over the years, the SuperOcean has evolved with updated designs, improved materials, and enhanced performance, solidifying its reputation as a classic timepiece for both divers and watch enthusiasts alike.

The Breitling SuperOcean Reference A13320, part of the SuperOcean Heritage collection, was launched in 2007 to commemorate the watch's 50th anniversary. It features a 46mm stainless steel case, a mesh bracelet, and a unidirectional rotating bezel. The A13320 houses the Breitling Caliber 13 movement, offering chronograph functions and a 42-hour power reserve. This modern classic honors its roots while incorporating contemporary design elements and technology.

The Breitling SuperOcean Reference A13320 stands out due to its blend of heritage-inspired design and modern functionality. Its large 46mm case, mesh bracelet, and unidirectional bezel evoke classic dive watches, while the Caliber 13 movement provides precise timekeeping and chronograph features. This versatile timepiece offers water resistance up to 200m, making it suitable for both professional divers and style-conscious individuals who appreciate a fusion of history and innovation.

The Breitling SuperOcean Chronograph A13320 utilizes the Caliber 13, a reliable automatic chronograph movement. With 25 jewels, it provides a 42-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). Based on the ETA Valjoux 7750, the Caliber 13 ensures precise timekeeping and sturdy performance.

At 46MM this watch wears true to size, and is large on my 6.5-inch wrist, though the factory Milanese Bracelet makes it surprisingly comfortable. The rest of the watch is classic Breitling, with a very legible dial, three registers on the dial, and a date function. Great everyday watch for the price.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The watch is in overall excellent condition, with light and normal wear throughout the case and bracelet around 9/10 overall. Movement is running strong, with the chronograph resetting to zero. Factory Milanese bracelet will fit a 7.5-inch wrist. The factory bezel is in excellent condition and shows only very light wear. Comes with a Breitling travel box only, no papers.

WHY THIS WATCH

Inspiration from the Past

In the 1950's diving was starting to become a more popular sport around the world. It was at this time in 1957 that Breitling released the SuperOcean Chronograph, reference 807. The reference 807 was designed for divers who needed a hearty and reliable watch for their underwater explorations. The SuperOcean line was water resistant to 200m, which was huge at the time. They also carried a distinctive style, including triangle shaped hands as well as circular/triangular hour markers. Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph.

Ceramic At Last with a Great Calibre

Unlike older SuperOceans, this one replaces the standard (and very scratchable) aluminum bezel with a hearty, scratch proof Ceramic Bezel.

Inside this beast we have a Breitling In-House Calibre B20, which has a 70 hour power reserve, bi-directional automatic rotor, quickset date, and hacking seconds. The hacking seconds feature is important as it stops the second hand when you pull the crown, enabling you to set the time to the exact second. You'd be surprised at how many modern manufactured movements don't hack! I'll also mention that this movement is Chronometer rated, which is a certification handed to movements that meet strict timing and functional standards. Breilting has really stepped up it's movements in recent years, and has come a long way from the off-the-shelf ETAs of the past.

Wrist Impressions

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. Blue strap, Blue dial, Blue bezel, aesthetically this is a divers watch. The Ceramic bezel is okay, even though I have seen better executions, it will do the job and be scratch free. I love these mesh style rubber straps, and I love how Breilting has put a micro-adjust into the deployment. I can get the perfect fit every time. This watch is very legible due to the special hour hand. This watch would make a great daily wearer for someone with big wrists.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is guaranteed 100% Authentic Breitling. Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breitling Dealer in 2018 and was worn sparingly. The watch is still under Breitling Warranty until Mid-2023, all you do have to do is take the electronic warranty card (included) and the watch into Breitling if you have any issues.

The case is showing only very light wear, around 93%-95%. The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time. The Rubber strap was barely worn, almost new. The watch comes with the Outer White Box, Inner Breitling Box, Manuals, Tag, and Warranty Card. Comes on the Rubber Strap with the Factory Breitling Deployment.

Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph.

DLC Love

This watch is 44mm in diameter with a DLC coated steel case, and limited edition green dial with black eye sub-registers. This watch is big and bold, and isn't shy about showing it. Because the watch comes on a mesh style rubber strap that is extremely comfortable, it's wearable despite being 44mm and over 15mm thick. I'll also mention the Rubber strap comes with a micro-adjust feature on the deployment, assuring the perfect fit as your wrist expands and contracts.

Bullet-Proof Calibre

In the past, Breitling watches have used off-the-shelf ETA Calibres for most of their movements. In 2009, Breitling announced it's first in-house chronograph movement after 5 years of Research and Development. The B01 is a column-wheel self-winding chronograph with a vertical coupling system which eliminates hand-jumping when the chronograph is activated. The movement also utilizes an index regulating system inside the movement which allows for easy rate adjustment. It's got 70 hours of Power Reserve off of a single barrel. In terms of finishing, this movement is nicely finished but don't expect it to be at the level of a Patek or AP. We've got the standard Cotes De Geneve, Circular Finishing, and diamond-polished bevels.

Wrist Impressions

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. The Green Dial has a very nice shimmer to it, especially in direct light. The DLC coating makes this mostly a sporty watch that would be hard to dress up. Working the chronograph, you can really tell the in-house movement was worth it, with stop start and reset of the chronograph on a different level.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is Guaranteed 100% Authentic. Watch is under Breitling Factory Warranty until 2026. Only 250 examples of this watch were made and the watch is sold out everywhere. Watch is in in Near Mint Condition. The Bezel, Case and Strap are all mint condition. The only wear is on the deployment clasp, which has some normal wear (see pictures). This watch comes with the full set of Box and Papers including tag, manuals, and warranty card. Please note, serial numbers are blurred out for pictures only. We only sell watches with the full serial number intact.

WHY THIS WATCH

The Cartier Pasha was introduced in 1985, as a tribute to the Pasha of Marrakesh, a lifelong customer of Louis Cartier. The original Pasha was an oversized, waterproof watch that was cased fully in yellow gold, it drew design inspiration from an archival model dating back to 1943.

The Cartier Pasha has managed to remain stylish since it was introduced and this has something to do with it's design touches most notably the screw-down chain crown (which also doubles as a crown protector). You may or may not be surprised to learn that the Pasha was designed by none other than designer extraordinaire Gerald Genta. Gerald designed the Pasha a full 13 years after he created the legendary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. With it's striking design the Pasha de Cartier has been a cult icon since its creation.

This particular iteration of the Pasha is the chronograph. At 36mm it hits just the right spot in terms of size. With it's 'T' Lugs, integrated bracelet, and cap+chain crown protector and perfect size, this is a very versatile watch that can be worn by just about anyone for just about any occasion.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from 200XX. The watch is in overall near mint condition, and was worn only a handful of times. Only very light wear on the case and bracelet. The watch comes with the original Cartier Box and Papers. The watch is running strong without any issues.

SOLD OUT: Cartier Santos Galbee XL 2823 Steel Mens Automatic Watch steel bracelet 45 x 32 mm wears like 38mm

(1)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

Many see the Cartier Santos, which was introduced by Louis Cartier in 1904, as the first purpose designed men’s wrist watch. The Santos had a very revolutionary asthetic at the time it was released, with it's square case and visible screws on the bezel, it had a downrigth industrial look, during an era where that wasn't popular. Do these design elements remind you of anything? 70 years later Gerald Genta would borrow some of these design elements for the Audemars Piquet Royal Oak, a legendary watch in it's own right. The Santos has remained a mainstay in Cartier’s collection ever since its introduction more than a century ago. In 1987 the Santos was relaunched as the Santos Galbée, as a two-tone only watch. Cartier introduced the Galbee, which is French for "curved" by giving the case slightly more curved lugs and, for the first time, an integrated Santos bracelet, which would in time become just as iconic as the watch itself. This particular Santos Galbée XL reference 2823 dates back to the mid-2000s. The stainless steel case measures 45 x 32 mm. Inside, you have the Cartier Calibre 39, which is an ETA automatic base finished to Cartiers standards.

In my opinion, this the best version of the Cartier Santos for a man. On the wrist, you notice that despite being called XL, the watch falls beautifully around the wrist due to the integrated bracelet with concealed butterfly clasp. I would say this watch watch wears like a 38mm watch. I love how the explosed screws in the bracelet are arranged erradictly. I usually pull this watch with just about anything. Jeans and brunch, coctail hour, business dinner, this watch just feels right at home almost anywhere.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from the mid-late 2000's and is in overall excellent condition, with some light wear on the case and bracelet. Case is around 93%, with most of the light surface scratches on the polished bezel. The bracelet is pretty clean, around 95%. The movement is running strong and keeping good time, with the date changing as it should at midnight. The watch comes with box and manual only, no other paperwork. The bracelet has enough links to fit a 7 inch wrist. Additional links available upon request.

The Santos has remained a mainstay in Cartier’s collection ever since its introduction more than a century ago.

This particular example is a Santos Carree from the 1980's. It measures 29mm across, and I would say it wears like a 36-38mm watch. On the wrist this watch exudes a 1980's Neo-Vintage vibe that I love. The watch falls beautifully around the wrist due to the integrated bracelet. I love how the explosed screws in the bracelet are arranged erradictly. This is very comfortable and versatile every piece that I can compare to a Rolex reference 1603. Jeans and brunch, coctail hour, business dinner, this watch just feels right at home almost anywhere.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from the 1980's and is in overall excellent condition, with some light wear on the case and bracelet. I would give the case a 9/10, with most of the wear being on the gold bezel. The bracelet is in excellent shape, having received a light polish, around 9/10 as well. The watch recenetly received a full overhaul and service by a watchmaker, and is keeping excellent time. The watch comes with box only, no papers. Please note the box is authentic Cartier but belongs to a different model.

SOLD OUT: Cartier Tank Francaise 2303 28mm by 32mm Two Tone Chronograph Unisex Date Quartz White Steel Box

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Cartier Tank Francaise, introduced in 1996, is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Cartier Tank, which dates back to 1917. The original Tank, designed by Louis Cartier, was inspired by the geometric lines and symmetry of WWI military tanks. The Tank Francaise retains the signature rectangular case but introduces a more pronounced, curved shape and integrated bracelet, enhancing its elegance and refinement. The watch features Roman numerals, a railway minute track, and blue sword-shaped hands, preserving Cartier's unique aesthetic. Over the years, the Tank Francaise has been offered in various sizes and materials, solidifying its status as a versatile and enduring timepiece with a rich history rooted in both horology and art.

The Cartier Tank Francaise 2303, introduced in the late 1990s, is a notable variation of the Tank Francaise line. This model features a two-tone stainless steel and gold case and bracelet, combining elegance with a modern, sporty touch. The 2303 is a chronograph, offering additional functionality beyond the classic Tank Francaise's time-only display. It retains key design elements such as the rectangular case, Roman numerals, blue sword-shaped hands, and the iconic cabochon sapphire on the crown. Powered by a reliable ETA-based movement, the Tank Francaise 2303 showcases Cartier's ability to fuse classic design with contemporary features, contributing to the enduring appeal of the Tank Francaise family.

The Cartier Tank Francaise 2303 is an outstanding watch because it combines the timeless elegance of the Tank design with modern features and sporty elements. The stainless steel case and bracelet strike a balance between sophistication and contemporary appeal. As a chronograph, the 2303 offers enhanced functionality, making it both practical and versatile. The watch stays true to Cartier's signature design with its rectangular case, Roman numerals, blue sword-shaped hands, and cabochon sapphire crown. Its connection to the iconic Tank line and the unique blend of classic and modern aesthetics make the Tank Francaise 2303 a distinct and attractive timepiece.

The Cartier Tank Francaise 2303 is powered by an ETA-based quartz movement, known for its reliability and precision. The automatic chronograph caliber provides timekeeping and stopwatch functions, offering practicality and versatility. The movement is designed for durability, ensuring consistent performance in this elegant, sporty timepiece.

I really enjoyed wearing this watch despite it being quartz. There's something about that classic Roman Numeral Cartier dial that is so timeless. I would say this watch wears like a 36-38mm watch, though that's not an entirely apt comparison because of the case shape. I will say most ladies also really enjoy wearing this watch as it fits their wrist as well. An overall fantastic watch that's on the dressier side, with a chronograph and a date complication.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was fully serviced in 2022 by our watchmaker and is running flawlessly without issues. The bracelet will fit up to a 7.0-inch wrist. The case and bracelet are in overall excellent condition, with only minor wear, around 9/10. Crystal and dial are clean. Comes with a Cartier box only.
