Breitling Colt A7338011/B782

The case measures 41.1mm across and 12.9mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

SuperQuartz (thermocompensated quartz), Breitling Caliber 73, COSC-certified chronometer.

It is rated to 200 meters, about 656 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Breitling produced this reference from 2006 to 2011. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

Millenary Watches): A = stainless steel case; 73 = Breitling Caliber 73, a bare caliber number, meaning a third-party (ETA) base, not an in-house movement, which would carry a B prefix such as B01; 3 = COSC chronometer-certified; 80 = model code; 11 = case/bezel finish; B782 = dial code, the leading letter B denoting a black dial. A further suffix after the dial code identifies the strap or bracelet (e.g. -SS steel bracelet, -BKPT rubber) and is not present in this reference. Breitling does not publish this scheme. It is compiled from collector documentation and reads as a reliable guide rather than a manufacturer specification.. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.
