A vintage Breitling Premier chronograph reference 790 from 1946, this example elegantly blends sporty functionality with refined design in 18k rose gold. Difficult to find in unpolished condition and retaining its original components, it stands as a superb tool watch from the brand’s golden era. The 35 mm case features elongated angular lugs and original large pushers, giving it balanced proportions and presence on the wrist. Its dial has developed a gentle patina, showcasing radium-lumed Arabic numerals, blued syringe-style hands with lume, an outer black tachymeter scale, and two registers — subsidiary seconds and a 45-minute counter. Powered by the manual-wind Venus 150 movement, the watch is paired with a handcrafted saddle alligator strap that complements the warmth of the rose gold case. Retaining strong hallmarks and running reliably, this well-preserved Premier would delight any vintage collector seeking an exquisite Breitling chronograph.
