Could Any Breitling Fans Help Me ID This Vintage Watch?

Hi guys,

I’ve been collecting vintage Swiss watches for a number of years, and just recently set my sights on purchasing my first vintage chronograph! Naturally for this purpose I have found myself increasingly drawn to Breitling, though as it currently stands my knowledge of the brand remains fairly limited.

Earlier this week I landed in Europe and went to have a look around some of the antiques dealers near where I’m staying. As it happened I came across a few vintage watch dealers, and found the below-linked Breitling on sale for 800 euro (c. $930 USD).

Given I am somewhat inexperience in Breitling watches - I was hoping you might allow me tap the wisdom of TRF for a few initial questions I am looking for help with:

1. Would anyone be able to identify the model of the pictured watch (see link below)? Any assistance on this would be hugely helpful as I could then do some of my own research and try to determine the authenticity when I next visit the shop for a closer look.

2. When I do go back to the dealer for a closer look - do you have any suggestions or guidance for what I need to look out for in this particular model?

3. I know I have only been able to provide a very basic picture of the watch (I was not able to get a look at the movement or ask about the service history), but on a purely surface / cosmetic level - are there any red flags with this watch eg. any evidence of it being a franken watch? I am slightly suspicious of what seems like a very attractive price point.

I hugely appreciate any input or guidance you could give me.

Thanks.
