I have been wanting to start a mini watch collection so I decided to start this Christmas. (Yes, I bought my own Xmas gift)
My current watch is slightly flashy so wanted to town it down some. With everyone having newer watches I though it would be cool to own a vintage watch. So, I bought this 70s
Breitling Sprint 2016. The REALLY cool part about this watch is new.

Part of our collection of New Old Stock Breitlings, this factory inventory remained after the company changed ownership in the early 1980's. TRIPLE SIGNED This VINTAGE New Old Stock Chronograph 2016 SPRINT with BROWN DIAL has a stainless steel bezel and resin-like composite material case, which is one piece and snaps off from the top. Brand new-never worn! This light weight material is perfect as the watch was originally intended for runners, which is where the name Sprint may have originated. The case measures 40mm across and 43.50mm top to bottom and has the original factory stick on the back. The price is the original selling price in Swiss Francs. The bezels are calibrated to read pulse. Manual wind chronograph movement Valjoux 7730. Watch stored in factory trays-10 watch heads per tray. We're sorry to report that booklets and original boxes were discarded years ago as storage costs on these was prohibitive. We supply the watch with a Breitling style padded cowhide strap
