One of the cartier santos 100 mens w20073x8 watch Breitlings we wrote about last week had the name Super Ocean on the face (the first one here), and we absolutely loved it. The Super Ocean that we've found today is from the same vintage, but a wholly different beast.This vintage Breitling (circa 1965) has a really interesting chronograph function. The large hand with the square on the end is not a seconds hand, in fact it is a minute counter hand. When the chronograph is activated, it moves slowly, one minute at a time, and as far as we can tell, there is no seconds register. Also, because it is not cartier santos 100 mens w20073x8 watch apparently obvious that the chronograph is working without a seconds hand, the aperture above 6 o'clock fills in with a black disc when activated. If this isn't a cool and interesting chronograph, we don't know what is.This vintage Breitling Super Ocean is selling for under $5000, which is a lot for this mark and this year, but this is quite a rare piece and one we think is worth the extra dough.
