Breitling Crosswind Ref. B13055 automatic 43 mm

What you need to know

The Crosswind we present today is one of the last truly retro models in this collection launched in 1997. With its straight lugs, slim proportions and charmingly retro two-tone aesthetic, this watch sends us straight back to the 90s with its sporty-chic style.

As for the details: on the wrist, the watch measures 42.7 mm in diameter and 15.3 mm thick. Its stainless steel case is in very good condition. The crown and pushers show traces of wear. The dial, like the case, has a distinct retro appeal, with central guilloche, and applied Roman numerals, all filled with Luminova.
There is the iconic Breitling signature rider bezel, the same as on the Chronomat models. This look was designed to help pilots grasp the bezel more easily when wearing gloves, but also to protect the sapphire crystal from possible shocks.
The 6-9-12 vertical configuration of the chronograph and the date at 3 o'clock is not in doubt for all watch enthusiasts! Indeed, we find the Breitling 13 automatic caliber, based on the famous Valjoux 7750, offering a renowned reliability that will defy the tests of time for many decades.

A small detail, the model is accompanied by a steel bracelet with 5 "pilot" links, which has little strech.
