From the first half of the 60's. 

An incredible character, this quite unknown watch. 



Screw-in case back:



And a " pedestrian " movement, a AS 1581: 



Remove the date, and we have a good opportunity for an excellent re edition! 

Best,

Movement is unusual by Breguet standards!

I still like my idea of a JLC Reverso Tribute, blue dial, 822 movement with special anglage finishing for WPS members. But this idea sounds nice too! I know, let's keep the simple tool watch finishing and just keep the price a little lower! Let's even keep this strap! Something really true to the military heritage. But a genuine Breguet product. And even a "military cardboard box" that's somewhat plainer to keep costs low and the product authentic. The only elaborate will be the warranty paperwo

There is some big room for such a Community Project, but will Breguet play the game???

Can you twist their arm?

Their USA PR lady is very resistant to my arm twisting.
