I'd like to see a serial number, but it looks good to me. Condition isn't great - needs a very good clean inside and out and the second hand looks like a replacement to me - it should have a big diamond on the end.

I want a serial because I think it's nearer 1970 than 1960, but it's a good, documented model. Prices on these were historically low, but the SOH / SOHC releases have increased the popularity of these and pushed the prices up. Do a search on here and you'll find one owner who thinks my valuations on these models are way too low, but in this economy, and in this condition I wouldn't pay more than $750 - $800.

The serial number is on the back cover. 1965, which is correct. I had a 1967 model 2005 I bought for $200 from a diver in the Channel Islands (UK). It was a mess and I sent it to a watchmaker I hadn't used before and waited 2 1/2 years to get it back. He did an admirable job but I sold it for $800 (the repair bill was around $500). The guy in Australia I sold it to sold it again for $1200 a few months later. Nice watches with the same movement as ther Breitling Football from a little later on.

It may not have subdials, but it is a chrono!

There is another central hand that acts as a minute totaliser operated by the pushers for use in timing dives. There is also a dot at 6 o'clock - you can see it in the pictures, that is luminous and is an indicator for use underwater of whether the chrono is operating.
