Breitling Montbrillant Légende - A23340 - Very Good - Full Set (Box & Papers)

The Montbrillant Légende chronograph is the largest model in the Navitimer collection. It cuts an imposing figure with its 47 mm diameter. But that is certainly not the only special feature of its design. By smoothly integrating the case and bracelet, Breitling has endowed this model with flowing, balanced lines that further emphasize its unique character. In terms of the choice of finish, Montbrillant Légende also reinforces its singularity by offering – in addition to the steel version – a steel and rose gold version in which the crown, pushpieces and bezel are all crafted in this precious metal. Faithful to the aeronautical spirit cherished by Breitlin, the Montbrillant Légende is equipped not only with the famous circular slide rule, but also on its caseback with a conversion scale for the main aviation weights and measures. The styling and layout of the dial are resolutely inspired by the 1940’s. The same goes for the hands, the traditional central 1/100th of an hour indication, as well as the horizontal totalizers at 9 and 3 o’clock characteristics of Breitling Caliber 23, the mechanism driving the superlative Navitimer.
