Post subject:  Couple of 3-hands back from service

Recently picked up a couple of nice Breitling 3-hand watches. The Breitling ref 66-26 is unusual in that it's double branded "Metric". Found some other examples of Metric watches in Breitling cases and all from the middle 1950's when Breitling was doing some strange things. It's an automatic and the movement, crown, and case back are all signed Breitling. This one dates to 1956. Lots of patina on the dial but can't risk cleaning it and removing the printing.

This ref 4001 is also an automatic and really in great shape. It came missing a crystal but luckily the hands were still there and the dial in good shape. Dates to 1957.
