chronomat, the classic of 80 and 90's, very nice watch.
That’s vile. Literally looks like a invicta molested a Vostok & it was allowed to go full term.

Great spot!
Breitling Chronomat Vitesse (ref B13050 or something like that). I think the Vitesse was a 1997-2000ish production. Used the Brietling cal 13 which was a Valjoux 7750 derivative
Surprisingly wearable for a late 90s chronograph if I recall. Sort of in the 40mm range with a short lug to lug (46mm?) and a 20mm lug width. Probably about 15mm tall but that's the 7750 for you.
A higher resolution picture without the two tone bracelet. I think there were a million iterations of this watch (Roman numerals, all gold bezels, oyster style bracelets, etc)
This watch is real but has to be one of the most knocked off watches in the pantheon of knocked off timepieces. A friend was helping the widow of a former colleague with some items that she had no need for including a bag of more than a dozen Breitlings that my friend thought that I might buy, all fakes from when the Chronomat was super popular.
