1961 Breitling [Swiss] “Cadette” Ref. 1191 Chronograph – Venus Cal. 188

Professionally restored and fully serviced in-house at our Localtime Spa, here is a stunning example of a Breitling [Swiss] “Cadette” Ref. 1191 chronograph watch from 1961 [SN # 938018], with a manual-wind Venus Cal. 188.

It’s 36mm case [39mm when counting the crown at 3h] is in excellent condition. The silver dial contrasts beautifully with the silver hands and applied stick indices to create a classy result indeed. The Venus Cal. 188 is sparkling and ticking away happily. During service, we have replaced the plexi glass with a correct, new one. We have fitted this fine timepiece with a brown handmade premium calf leather strap handmade for Localtime in Italy, that we believe suits it quite nicely. We have made many photos of the watch, including some close-up macro snapshots we took just for fun [it is important to remember though that such close-up macro shots taken with extreme lighting and at a very close distance, most times show details that can not be seen by the naked eye].

As with all our watches that we service in-house here at the Localtime Spa, this also comes with a written 6-month warrantee from the date of purchase. Feel free to contact us for any questions you might have.
