Description from the seller
Breitling Spider Lug Chronograph – Ref. 1192 – Early 1950s – Exceptional Case & Dial
A highly attractive and increasingly rare Breitling chronograph, reference 1192, dating from the early 1950s. This model stands out immediately thanks to its distinctive and seldom-seen spider lugs — an elegant design that elevates this piece far beyond standard mid-century chronographs.
The case is in exceptionally well-preserved condition, with its yellow gold plating remaining remarkably crisp and clean. The iconic spider lugs are sharp and beautifully defined, giving the watch a strong architectural presence on the wrist.
The dial is equally compelling: an original silver dial that has developed a balanced and even patina over time. The aging is harmonious across the surface, enhancing its vintage character Applied gold arrow indexes alternate with Arabic numerals
.
Inside ticks the respected Venus 188 manual-wind chronograph movement, known for its reliability and smooth operation. The movement runs well, keeps time, and all chronograph functions operate correctly.
Key features:
Reference: 1192 – a rare and less commonly encountered Breitling configuration
Early 1950s production
35 mm yellow gold-plated case in outstanding condition
Distinctive and rare spider lugs
Pressure-fit stainless steel case back with Breitling signature
Serial: 785285
Original silver dial with uniform, attractive patina
Applied gold indexes with Arabic numerals
and black printed details
Manual-wind Venus 188 chronograph movement
Plexiglass crystal in good condition
Rectangular chronograph pushers
The watch is fitted with a thin vintage-style crocodile leather strap (new old stock), which enhances its character and presence. A more understated strap can easily be fitted depending on personal preference.
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive early Breitling chronograph where design originality, condition, and authenticity come together — especially in this configuration with spider lugs, seldom found on the market.
The watch will be shipped fully insured and registered.
