BREITLING
RCAF
Monopusher Chronograph
One of only 820 pieces manufactured by BREITLING with a sterile dial for the Canadian Department of National Defence. Many were destroyed by the DND on return and out of the ones that survived few remain in original and beautiful condition like this rare piece.
Supplied to the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force), the dial remained anonymous to avoid the risk of theft from Pilots.
