Breitling - Chronograph 1191

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Breitling 1191 is a charming mid-century chronograph that captures the elegance and mechanical ingenuity of watchmaking in that period. With its balanced proportions, clean dial layout, and hand-wound movement, this vintage piece is one of our all-time favourites.

Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case, it features gently curved lugs and pump pushers that echo the era’s design language, while the acrylic crystal adds warmth and character. The dial, in off-white, is tastefully laid out with two recessed sub-registers at 3 and 9 o’clock, framed by applied hour markers and a printed tachymeter scale along the outer edge. The simplicity of the two-register layout enhances legibility, while the shaped hands are sharp and unique.

Paired with a leather strap, the Breitling 1191 bridges utilitarian function with understated elegance. It’s a piece that not only recalls the golden age of chronographs but also remains deeply wearable and stylish today—ideal for those who appreciate vintage charm backed by horological substance.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

Under the hood beats the dependable Venus 188 manually wound chronograph movement—an iconic caliber of its time, offering smooth engagement of the chronograph functions and a reliable measure of elapsed time.
