You are probably right. It reminded me of something already seen, indeed.
Breguet Slide Rule, an unexpected and not known from me watch.
45 mm Sold to Air Service Gabon on 25 July 1977. Credit: Sotheby's. Best, Nicolas ...
Wow. I just had flashbacks learning to use a slide rule in school.
Such a cool and now kind of primitive tool. We went to the moon with calculations done with a slide rule. The watch..... well kind of a novelty I guess. Probably came with a pocket protector and white tape for your glasses.
Funky to say the least
... and to think there are some of these lying somewhere in Gabon waiting to ne discovered !
It is cased in this:
I think this is the case with the special bezel. This watch is a Lemania 1377. ...
Now that is funky 👏🏻👍🏻
Do you know more about the watches that you can share with us?
Yes
Gabon had an air force with a few Mirage F1 ground attack aircraft purchased from France and some helicopters. But in this particular case, Air Gabon was the civil airline...
Hello dear friend Nicolas! A very rare and unique Breguet …
… you share here! Very cool. It remind me of my Heuer Calculator. Very different dial but similar ruler bezel I feel. But… a Breguet is a Breguet!! Cheers! Abrazos Abel ...
