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.
Not so sure it is the same case, mon ami. The Lemania is more C Shaped, while the Breguet is flatter at the strap sides.
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...
The dial looks like a Speedmaster!?!? What a weird watch. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it will sell for a good price! Best, E.
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!
