Breitling At The Reno Air Races
One of the major timepiece archetypes is the pilot (or aviation) watch. There are numerous brands with products that fit this category, a segment which is attractive to anyone with a fetish for flight or planes. Some brands have an actual history with aviation, some try to produce the best possible pilot watch for today, and many others simply try to emulate the concept of a stylish pilot watch. Anyone interested in aviation watches will have a range of models to choose from.For a lot of people that choice is very easy. Actual pilots (both civilian and military) choose or aspire to own a Breitling watch. Those aren't words from Breitling themselves.

The watch is quite striking and appears to be in unworn overall condition.The more I research this watch the more confused I get. What I think I know thus far is that the watch houses a Lemania 5012 movement which is a derivative of the 5100 without the 24 hour sub dial, has a classic Heuer dial configuration and color and is housed in a case consistent with the very large and bulky Omega stainless steel casesfrom the mid 1970's.What I know for sure is that this two register chronograph is massive in size and weight and commands a very impressive wrist presence (wrist shot attached) and overall high quality look, feel and functionality as it keeps excellent time and the chrono functions work quite well.Lastly, I have researched the relationship between Marlboro Racing (F1) and Swiss watches and Heuer come
