1969 Breitling Sprint Chronograph Reference 2010

Why This Watch Matters The "bow tie" dial and neon accents give this trusty chronograph a bit of an edge that makes it all the more appealing. The Full Story The white dial version of the Breitling Sprint reference 2010 is a bit more casual and fun than its black dial brother, making it a perfect summer watch. And with the manual winding Valjoux 7733 chronograph movement, you can rest assured that it will be your loyal companion throughout any summer adventure. At 40mm, not including the crown and pushers, it sits large on the wrist, with an impressively thick case. The touches of color on the bezel, forty-five minute counter, and chronograph hand really add a sense of modern cool.

There are some very tiny chips to the black bezel, but it shows no signs of fading and is beautifully preserved. There are light scratches on the acrylic crystal and a few of the lume plots are lightly bruised. There is some oxidation to the indexes, but this is only visible under a loupe, and the aging to the dial is minimal. The colored accents on the bezel and dial are still vivid and the chronograph hand lights up under a UV light. Overall, this vintage Breitling Sprint is in great condition. Show more
