Why This Watch Matters This ultra-light chronograph is in NOS condition with its original sticker still intact on the caseback. The Full Story The look of this Breitling Sprint can't hide its 1970s roots, but it is truly when worn that it shows its best asset. This watch is incredibly light thanks to its resin case; it was intended for athletes, which also explains the pulsation scale on the bezel. This reference was offered in orange, burgundy, green, and blue, but we have a weakness for the latter. This peculiar watch has kept the original finish of the case, as well as its caseback sticker, which reveals an original price of 190 CHF. This unusual Breitling is a stunner perfect for summer.

The resin case has kept its original brushing, with only a couple of faint scratches. The blue dial does not show any imperfections, and the tritium has taken a pleasing patina on the handset and lume plots at the hours. The chronograph movement works well, and resets nicely.
