For sale is a Breitling Top Time Chronograph ref. 815 in outstanding, original condition. It dates back to 1973 and comes with 12 months warranty.
The Breitling 815 Long Playing is a favourite amongst watch collectors, and it is not hard to see why. With a large stainless steel 38mm case and a reverse panda dial with silver sunburst finish, it has a very nice presence on the wrist.
The 815was the successor to the previous 810 Top Time. Released in the 70’s, this was a classic sports watch that was nicknamed ‘Long Playing’ by collectors due to its unusually long power reserve. The 52-hour power reserve was achieved by using a longer mainspring.
