1940s "Kronometer Stockholm" Stainless Steel 38mm Water-resistant Chronograph by Breitling

A "Kronometer Stockholm" stainless steel 38mm waterproof chronograph made in the 1940s equipped with Venus-178 movement and in a very rare brown dial that is non-polished. Equipped with the Venus-178 movement and with the screw-back waterproof case common to Breitling, it is a rare and valuable piece that Breitling would have made for the Swedish jeweler "Kronometer Stockholm". A split-seconds chronograph with the Venus 179 was also produced at the time, indicating the close relationship between the two companies. Used to be a black gilt dial which has retained its radium luminescence has aged to a brown color. The wide screw-back waterproof case, which is unique to non-polished watches brings a wonderful presence to the whole design of this watch piece.
