When I lost my old Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph in October, I was absolutely gutted. But good old M&S home insurance agreed to replace it with a brand new one, result : happiness! Off we went, to Ernest Jones' Derby branch and, although slightly disappointed to find that the watch had been "updated", bought one. Over the weekend, I decided that I was not totally at peace with the new Omega, so spoke with Ernest Jones who said "No problem. Bring it back and exchange it for anything else that takes your fancy." They even agreed to do the exchange at their Manchester watch boutique, a significant Breitling stockist. So off we went.....and just look what I came out with. A Breitling SuperOcean Heritage Chronograph 46. I love it (My wife thinks it's "Awful").

Photos of a hard to find Yema Chronograph from around 1980-1989. PVD was first used in 1973, but the correct timeframe can be found through the use of the Valjoux 7765 that had been in use some TagHeuer Chronographs from 1978 already.
The dial I saw had turned into a very darkish blue/black.
The original metal bracelet is a thin metal black PVD one.
The Valjoux 7765 is the handwind version of the 7750 without a rotor.
Aluminium case, black PVD. Width 39mm without crown.
I love chronograph watches, especially panda chronographs. Here are Seiko Pandas from 2024 and 1976.
The Seiko SRQ049 (on the left here), is a limited edition chronograph. Its official name is "Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Chronograph Limited Edition". It was release to mark the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Seiko watch brand.
This limited edition of 1,000 pieces reaches back into Seiko's history for inspiration. It includes many design elements from Seiko’s classic vintage panda from 1972, the Speedtimer precision chronograph; the '6138'.
My own 6138-8020 (the watch on the right) dates from 1976. I have now matched it with this new Seiko (reverse) panda; #974 of 1,000.

Seagull ST1901 - a column wheel chronograph watch movement.
Chronograph gear - ambient light (long exposure) and reduced flash make it look more speedy than it really is. The larger rotating wheel is the continuous seconds wheel - it's actual speed is 1 turn per minute (1 RPM).
Lower left is the balance - it swings back and forth at a frequency of 21,600 bph (beats per hour).
The slowly moving wheel center bottom is the minutes wheel - it's speed is 1 turn per hour.
