1970's Breitling Bullhead Pupitre 7101

Valjoux 7740It is no surprise that Breitling designed this watch with a bullhead case, as the substantial, oblong shape offers easy access to the pushers. Breitling isn’t the only brand who utilized this unusual case shape; Omega and Seiko also partook back in the day. The Breitling Pupitre offers much more than easy timing and 1970s design, the dial is also incredibly legible, and the orange handset adds a playful element to the piece. Excluding the hour/minute external bezel, you can find three additional scales on the dial – a base 100, a pulsation, and a tachymeter. This whole combination creates a very coherent and damn cool wristwatch.
