A true icon of late-1960s Breitling innovation, the Chronomat ref. 1808—nicknamed the “Big Case” or “Pizza” by collectors—was among the brand’s very first self-winding chronographs. Powered by the legendary Calibre 12 micro-rotor movement (21 600 vph, 17 jewels, 42 h power reserve), it represents the pioneering Chrono-Matic era that reshaped modern chronograph design.

This particular example, purchased new in Berlin on 20 January 1973 from Gerhard D. Wepme, is exceptionally well-preserved and comes as a complete full set—an extreme rarity among surviving 1808s. Included are the original box, World Service booklet, Chronomat manual, and Breitling International Certificate, together with a PW Certificate of Authenticity and Service Certificate Card.

The watch features the striking reverse panda dial with beautiful even patina and a minor, period-correct hairline at 9 o’clock. The imposing 48 mm stainless-steel case retains its sharp geometry and is paired with the original Breitling Genève bracelet, fitting wrists up to 19.5 cm.

Fully serviced by our Omega-certified in-house watchmaker on 22 October 2025, the movement runs flawlessly and all chronograph functions operate precisely. All parts are confirmed original.

An extraordinary collector’s opportunity—the only known full-set Breitling Chronomat 1808 currently on the market. A bold, historically significant timepiece that embodies the golden age of Swiss chronograph innovation.

All our watches are 100% guaranteed to be authentic.

Before shipping any timepiece you order, we inspect every watch to ensure that all parts are original and that it functions correctly. All listed pictures are taken in-house, showcasing the watches we have in our possession.
