Powered by a hand-wound movement based on the Lemania Cal. 1873, this model pays homage to the classic design while incorporating some modern updates. The case size is slightly larger (41.5mm) than previous \"classic case\" versions, but the tapered lug design and the iconic 3\/6\/9 subdial layout remain true to its heritage. The caseback is a traditional \"snap-on\" style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ref. 81600, often called the \"Serge Gainsbourg\" (after the French iconic singer, actor, and pop star) by collectors, features hour and minute counters with running seconds at 9, staying true to the layout of the early Navitimers. Notably, there is no date display, keeping the focus on the chronograph functions. Red accents appear on both the dial and the slide rule, and the slide rule itself has been updated to a \"sloped\" design, echoing the Big Case models. This Ref. 81600 also marks the debut of the \"Breitling Wings \u0026amp; Anchor\" logo on the dial, adding a modern touch to an already iconic watch. The dial features lovely yellow-toned tritium lume, which we think gives this watch that little bit of \u003ci\u003eextra extra.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’ve fitted this fine chrono with a rugged Bulang \u0026amp; Sons strap that we think is a perfect match!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIconic chronographs never go out of style, and this Breitling is a prime example.
