DESCRIPTION
With a large stainless steel 38mm case and a reverse panda dial having a silver sunburst finish, the Breitling 815 was a instant success.۬Breitling was amongst one of the top chronograph producers and this 815 was the successor to the previous 810 Top Time. This was a classic sport watch that was nicknamed 'Long Playing' by collectors due to its unusually long power reserve. The 52-hour power reserve was achieved by using a longer mainspring.
This Breitling is powered by a Valjoux 7730, a very popular movement used for chronographs in the 70's. With its good looks, muscular case and Breitling brand name, the Ref. 815 Long Playing remains great value in the vintage watch world and a favourite amongst collectors.
