Breitling Wakmann 1/5 Second Mechanical Stopwatch - This vintage Swiss-made mechanical stopwatch features a white dial with dual Breitling and Wakmann branding. The dial is configured with a 60-second outer track featuring 1/5-second increments and a 30-minute sub-dial recorder at the 12 o'clock position. The display utilizes a combination of black and red numerals for high legibility. The timepiece is housed in a polished silver-tone metal case and is operated via a top winding crown and a single side-mounted pusher. The manual wind mechanical movement is in running condition. The dial is marked BREITLING, WAKMANN, 1/5, and SWISS MADE. Case diameter: 51 mm. The item is in vintage, used condition. The polished metal case exhibits surface scratches, minor scuffs, and small areas of pitting and wear to the plating, particularly on the case back and edges. The crystal shows light surface scratches consistent with age and use. The white dial remains clear but shows minor age-related spotting and several small dust particles under the crystal. The mechanical functionality has not been professionally tested for long-term accuracy or power reserve.
