Design
- Visible features
- • Integrated titanium and gold bracelet with deployant clasp • Patrouille de France logo on anthracite dial • Unidirectional revolving bezel with four gold rider tabs • Two multifunctional liquid crystal displays
- Case and Dial Design
- The watch features a three-body titanium case design characterized by concave lugs and a unidirectional revolving bezel. The bezel is fitted with gold rider tabs at the quarter-hour positions, which are graduated. The dial is finished in anthracite and prominently displays the Patrouille de France logo. It is appointed with painted gold Arabic numerals and luminous markers, complemented by luminous gold baton hands for timekeeping. Integrated into the dial are two liquid crystal displays, which provide the interface for the watch's multi-functional quartz capabilities. The construction is completed by a sapphire crystal and a screwed-down case back, which carries an embossed finish. The overall design prioritizes a high-contrast aesthetic between the titanium surfaces and the gold accents found on the rider tabs and dial elements.
- Movement and Functionality
- The timepiece is powered by the Breitling Calibre 75, a multi-functional quartz movement. This calibre is designed to provide several complex features beyond standard timekeeping, including the capability to track a second time zone and provide an alarm. The chronograph function allows for precise measurement up to 1/100th of a second. A key technical aspect of this movement is the inclusion of an end-of-battery-life indicator, which serves to inform the wearer when power levels are insufficient. The auction description notes that the movement requires repair, which is the responsibility of the purchaser. The movement, alongside the dial and case, is signed by the manufacturer.
