Breitling Superocean Chronograph Ref 807.
If there is one vintage Breitling which drives me crazy, this is this Superocean Chronograph. I missed one for 30 minutes only, once, in Paris some 10 years ago.

Since then, always on the hunt, but the prices are not the same, sadly.
Here are a few I saw on the net, and one I could take in picture.

As you can see, the condition is not always at the top, but this reference is really something.

Companies like Breitling and Breguet have an awesome back catalog...
If they just reissued faithful reproductions of some of their vintage watches I think they'd could essentially print money. The watches in your post are head and shoulders above anything Breitling currently produces. I actually think things have become worse under Georges Kern. The new Breitlings are so bland and generic.
The Superocean Time Only and this Chronograph are two cult watches. I fear the modern production cannot fight with them... [nt]

My fav Vintage Breitling.. the slow chrono.. so unique. Along with the copilot 765 which had a 15min counter, they really innovated in the 60s.
Not bad, not bad, but, in my opinion, a step below the 807 or the 1004... But once you get the 1004 and the 807, then this one is a serious one to consider... [nt]
