Description

Breitling Premier Chronograph Ref. 787 – A Gilt-Dial Classic from the 1940s

An exceptionally rare and remarkably preserved example of mid-century chronograph mastery, this Breitling Premier Ref. 787 from the 1940s encapsulates the understated elegance and tool-watch precision that define early Breitling chronographs. A true relic of horological heritage, this timepiece features a coveted black gilt dial, an untouched steel case, and the legendary Venus 152 chronograph movement—all preserved in their original form.

A Dial of Depth and Character

At the heart of this Premier lies an original black gilt dial featuring bold Arabic numerals and matching radium-filled syringe hands—all in pristine condition. The radium has gracefully aged with a light, attractive patina, enhancing the vintage charm while preserving its legibility. A minor scratch under the 30-minute sub-dial is the only whisper of time on an otherwise stunning dial.

Complementing the warm golden printing is the original plexiglass crystal, domed and delightfully preserved, offering a clear window into a wartime-era masterpiece.

Unpolished Steel – Razor Sharp Elegance

The 35mm stainless steel case remains entirely unpolished, showcasing razor-sharp lug edges and factory-defined lines rarely found on a watch of this age. The untouched surfaces bring out the rugged beauty and historical integrity of this chronograph, offering an authentic connection to the 1940s. The unsigned original Breitling crown—a rarity in itself—remains fitted, underscoring the watch’s untouched originality.

Legendary Movement – Venus 152

Inside ticks the celebrated Venus Calibre 152, a manual-wind chronograph movement revered for its robustness and mechanical elegance. Recently serviced by a master watchmaker, this calibre runs flawlessly across all registers and pushers, and is offered with a 12-month mechanical guarantee for peace of mind.

This triple-register chronograph configuration is a marvel of functionality and

Let’s find that watch you like

New / unworn
The watch has not been worn and is in new condition. It may come directly from an authorised dealer or the brand itself, or it may have been recently traded without being worn.
Pre-owned
The watch has previously been traded and may show light to visible signs of wear, depending on the stated condition.

The condition is determined by the seller based on visual inspection and functional assessment in accordance with Wristler guidelines.

Sourced directly from an authorised dealer or the brand. Unpolished and free from signs of wear. Delivered with full manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty period begins upon registration with the brand and may have already started prior to delivery to the final buyer.
Unworn
Previously traded but never worn. May qualify as New Old Stock (NOS). Free from visible signs of wear. Does not imply anything about remaining manufacturer’s warranty or the presence of factory stickers.
Very good
Minor signs of wear such as hairline marks or small surface scratches. Case, bezel, and bracelet retain sharp edges and overall form. May have been professionally polished without affecting the original contours. Fully functional mechanically.
Good
Visible signs of wear such as scratches, small dents, or light bracelet stretch. May have been professionally polished. Fully functional mechanically.
Fair
Clearly visible signs of wear, including scratches, dents, or noticeable bracelet or clasp wear. Servicing may be recommended in the future. Fully functional unless otherwise stated.

All watches offered on Wristler are fully functional and meet normal expectations for mechanical performance unless explicitly stated otherwise. The seller provides a guarantee on proper mechanical operation.

Water resistance cannot be guaranteed for older watches unless specifically indicated.

If you have any doubts about the condition, carefully review the photos and description. You may contact the seller via chat to request additional photos or video material to better assess the watch before purchase.

Manufacturer's warranty
The manufacturer offers a 2-year international warranty from the warranty activation date. This date can differ from the year of production, so the remaining warranty depends on this specific watch; see its papers.
