Burnt orange Breitling SuperOcean 46mm A17320. $4,975.00 CAD. 515-00128

Breitling have a long history dating back to 1884. While most people know them for their large modern pilot watches with integrated stopwatches, slide rule calculators and generally more features than most people could ever hope to use. They also make some interesting more basic utility models with basic time keeping features and little else. The SuperOcean Heritage 46 is a model that draws inspiration from past Breitling models.

At 46mm diameter this is a very large watch and is impossible to overlook especially with its burnt orange dial and matching bezel. There are a few styling details that connect this modern example with historic Breitlings. The simple large exposed crown is very easy to use and operate without the guards seen on almost all contemporary diver watches. The arrow shaped hour hand was a popular style decades ago along along with the mesh look bracelet. Don’t be fooled though this bracelet has screwed in removable links with a fold over locking buckle just like every other modern Breitling. The sunburst burnt orange is also somewhat of a throwback colour chose that you may have seen in the 1970s. This is quite an uncommon colour and few show up of the secondary market.

Overall condition is very good, the matching anodized aluminum bezel excellent condition. I love the less is more one way ratcheting bezel that shows only a zero minute triangular index along with simple hash marks at 5 minute intervals. The uncluttered dial is another exercise in simplicity with simple applied stick markers with a printed minute track and small but effective luminous dots to aid time interpretation when the lights go out.

The threaded crown and case back  provide a water resistance rating of 200 meters. A low dome lab-grown sapphire crystal with anti-reflective surface coating provide ideal optics to the beautiful sunburst orange dial. The 6:00 o’clock window adds a handy calendar and keeps the rest of the dial in perfect balance and symmetry. Overall excellent condition, showing only minor scuffs and scratches on some of the highly polished surfaces. We have elected to  leave them as testament of careful use over the years. If you’d like these small marks removed, one of our onsite goldsmiths can accomplish this task in less than 10 minutes for no charge. Running great and keeping excellent time, this watch comes with our one year warranty. Estate priced at $4,975.00 CAD. Stock #515-00128.

Steeped in history, elegance, and unmistakable Canadian prestige, this vintage sapphire and diamond ring is a true masterpiece of fine jewellery design.

Vintage 1970s Heuer Daytona 110.203B calibre 12, very good condition. $5,750.00 CAD. 520-00166

The 1970s marked the golden era for motorsports mechanical chronographs. Standing proudly at the apex of the historic decade is the Heuer Daytona reference 110.203B. Introduced in 1976, this timepiece captures the raw racing energy of its namesake track while offering a masterclass in avant-garde Swiss design. Today, we are thrilled to present a rare opportunity to own a, highly original example of this horological icon.

The beating heart of this masterpiece lies the legendary Heuer Calibre 12 automatic chronograph movement. Born from the historic “Project 99” collaboration, the Calibre 12 represents a highly refined engineering evolution of the Calibre 11—one of the world’s very first automatic chronograph movements. Operating at a higher, more precise frequency of 21,600 beats per hour and featuring a strengthened mainspring, this innovative microrotor-driven movement is famously recognized by its unique left-hand crown configuration. Not only were self winding chronographs rare in the 1970s, to have one that also added the utility of a date display was almost unheard of. The architectural beauty of this clean, unmolested gold-finished movement remains fully visible, testifying to the mechanical integrity of the watch.

What truly elevates this particular Heuer Daytona is its level of originality and preservation. The centerpiece is its flawless, perfect-condition degrade finish blue dial. The dial transitions beautifully from a deep, velvety midnight navy at the perimeter to a radiant metallic blue toward the center. This delicate texturing is completely unmarred by the typical aging or moisture damage seen on most vintage dials from this era. The contrasting white hands and stark sub-registers pop with absolute clarity, offering a striking aesthetic balance that is impossible to replicate.

Crucially for discerning collectors, this watch is presented in honest, completely unpolished, and hasn’t been refinished. The robust integrated stainless steel case retains its factory details, showing the original details intended by Heuer’s designers. This preservation extends flawlessly into the original integrated steel bracelet. The links display distinct, sharp edges rather than the rounded, washed-out profiles common to heavily polished vintage steel.

Turning the watch over, the signature Heuer shield logo embossed onto the deployment clasp display incredible depth and crips details that are lost when polished not matter how careful you are. It is also free from the friction wear that usually smooths down these vintage buckles over decades of use. Furthermore, the bracelet exhibits little stretch of sag, a rarity for vintage steel bands. It is robust, tight, and long enough to accomodate a wrist size of up to 8 inches.

This reference 110.203B is not just a vintage timepiece; it is a time capsule from an era when Heuer ruled the paddocks of Formula One. With its mechanically sound Calibre 12, an immaculate degrade dial, and an unpolished case that wears its history with razor-sharp pride, this Heuer Daytona represents the ultimate acquisition for the serious collector demanding pure, unadulterated provenance. Including our one year warranty this collectible watch is estate priced at $5,750.00 CAD. Stock #520-00166.
