Breitling Premier Chronograph Ref. 787 – A Gilt-Dial Classic from the 1940s

An exceptionally rare and remarkably preserved example of mid-century chronograph mastery, this Breitling Premier Ref. 787 from the 1940s encapsulates the understated elegance and tool-watch precision that define early Breitling chronographs. A true relic of horological heritage, this timepiece features a coveted black gilt dial, an untouched steel case, and the legendary Venus 152 chronograph movement—all preserved in their original form.

A Dial of Depth and Character

At the heart of this Premier lies an original black gilt dial featuring bold Arabic numerals and matching radium-filled syringe hands—all in pristine condition. The radium has gracefully aged with a light, attractive patina, enhancing the vintage charm while preserving its legibility. A minor scratch under the 30-minute sub-dial is the only whisper of time on an otherwise stunning dial.

Complementing the warm golden printing is the original plexiglass crystal, domed and delightfully preserved, offering a clear window into a wartime-era masterpiece.

Unpolished Steel – Razor Sharp Elegance

The 35mm stainless steel case remains entirely unpolished, showcasing razor-sharp lug edges and factory-defined lines rarely found on a watch of this age. The untouched surfaces bring out the rugged beauty and historical integrity of this chronograph, offering an authentic connection to the 1940s. The unsigned original Breitling crown—a rarity in itself—remains fitted, underscoring the watch’s untouched originality.

Legendary Movement – Venus 152

Inside ticks the celebrated Venus Calibre 152, a manual-wind chronograph movement revered for its robustness and mechanical elegance. Recently serviced by a master watchmaker, this calibre runs flawlessly across all registers and pushers, and is offered with a 12-month mechanical guarantee for peace of mind.

This triple-register chronograph configuration is a marvel of functionality and symmetry, and it remains as crisp in operation today as it did nearly 80 years ago.

Do not purchase
Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10
Not sharp enough and does not work no matter what products you put under it to remove hair and how you use it. The durability is very cheap and it is not valuable even if it’s for less than $15. I would not recommend this product for your body including your face, upper lips, under arms, and anywhere on your body.

Individually wrapped blades for hygiene
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
Very hygienic that it comes in individual packaging! Every blade comes with a cover and a small sandpaper to keep the blades sharp! Perfect to keep reusing on their own.

Great for Peach Fuzz, But Not as Sharp as I Expected
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
I really liked that each dermaplaning blade is individually packaged, which helps keep them clean and sanitary until you’re ready to use them. As a hairstylist/barber who works with sharp tools every day, I did not feel like these blades were particularly sharp. That may actually be a positive for someone who is new to dermaplaning and wants something a little less aggressive. I used them on dry skin, but you can also use a facial oil for more glide. They did a nice job removing peach fuzz and left my skin feeling smooth afterward. Just be sure not to use them over active acne or irritated areas. While they worked well on facial hair, I didn’t notice much additional exfoliation from my first use. I’ll continue using them every couple of weeks and see how they perform over time. Overall, a decent option, especially for removing peach fuzz.
