AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Breitling Premier Chronograph 790 Venus 150
Produced in 1945, this exceptional piece emerges from Breitling's legendary Premier line, a designation reserved for the highest-quality chronographs of the era. Symbol of the golden age of mechanical watchmaking, reference 790 stands out for its harmonious balance between utilitarian functionality and vintage charm.
Set in a stainless steel case, the 36 mm case elegantly sits on the wrist with its slim profile of 11 mm, finding the perfect balance between sportiness and refinement. The acrylic Plexiglas crystal curves gently over a beautifully patinated dial, which has developed a rich patina over time—testimony to its authentic vintage character. The original blue Seringe hands, still luminous thanks to their radium fill, add a bold touch while remaining classic.
Recently fully serviced, this Premier 790 is ready for careful use and preservation. It is accompanied by a new handmade leather strap in Belgium—a craft touch that enhances its vintage charm and provides immediate comfort. The single buckle is valued at over €70, completing the set with style and know-how.
