Condition Report

Grade B – Good condition, with signs of use consistent with age, particularly to the gold plating.

The case, bracelet and clasp show substantial rubbing and areas of gold-plating loss, exposing the underlying metal in several places. Scratches and surface marks are visible around the bezel, case sides, bracelet links and clasp. The blue dial retains its distinctive appearance, with age-related marks and patina to the hands, markers and luminous material. The factory crystal shows visible scratches. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed.

Story & Heritage

The Breitling Tabarly has a distinctly maritime identity, expressed through its compass markings, blue dial and purposeful design. Even the case back carries a connection to sailing, bearing an inscription referring to its design and testing with Éric Tabarly.

This nautical character extends across the dial. Arrow-shaped markers, broad hands and fine crosshair lines create the appearance of a compact navigation instrument, while the gold-toned details bring warmth to the deep blue background.

The original bracelet is an essential part of the watch’s visual appeal. Its broad articulated links continue the strong lines of the case, creating a cohesive design with considerable presence for its 35 mm size. Its generous remaining length, suitable for a wrist of approximately 21 cm, is a welcome practical feature.

With its factory crystal, signed factory crown and original bracelet, this Tabarly offers a distinctive combination of Swiss quartz practicality and nautical styling. The visible wear gives this example an unmistakably lived-in vintage character, appealing to collectors who appreciate watches with an individual appearance.
