These WW2-era Breitling chronographs are incredibly scarce and highly collectible, with original dials and working movements commanding strong interest among vintage collectors. This piece dates to ~1945–46 (serial ~436xxx), retains its original syringe hands and dial layout, and houses a legendary chronograph caliber that predates the Navitimer. Chronograph functionality is smooth and responsive. Comparable Ref. 765 examples have sold between $3,000–$4,500 depending on condition, with clean dealer examples listed at $4K+ and a pristine version previously sold by Hodinkee for $4,400. This one is priced well below those comps to reflect honest wear and encourage a fast, confident sale. Perfect for collectors who want a true piece of Breitling history without overpaying through auction or dealer markups. No trades. U.S. buyers preferred.
