Vintage Breitling World Multi-Time Zone Two-Tone - Ref. 80840
Command the global stage with the exceptionally rare and visually spectacular Breitling World. Built during a golden era of tactical aviation design, this timepiece is an aesthetic marvel engineered for international pilots, frequent jet-setters, and high-tier watch collectors who demand uncompromising utility and massive wrist presence.
The defining architecture of this watch is its quad-movement capability, featuring four entirely independent analog displays hosted on a single textured dark grey dial. The primary dial at the bottom displays local time with sweeping golden hands and a triple-date window display at 6 o'clock, while the three auxiliary sub-dials track secondary, tertiary, and quaternary time zones framed by nautical compass points (N, S, E, W). To facilitate this immense capability, the stainless steel case is engineered with four independent winding crowns, allowing you to seamlessly customize multiple global time zones without altering primary flight time.
Iconic Rouleaux Engineering & Heritage:
The watch is beautifully integrated into Breitling's legendary two-tone "Rouleaux" (bullet-style) bracelet, featuring circular satin-brushed stainless steel links perfectly accented by polished gold-toned intermediate rings. The reverse showcases a solid screw-down caseback crisply engraved with Breitling's historic winged hourglass emblem, authenticating its lineage with the stamped model designation BREITLING WORLD, reference number 80840, and individual production serial 2851.
