Together with the ref 807 (The Chrono version) this is where it started, in regards to dive watches , for Breitling

In all years of my collecting I have seen half a dozen or so . So you can imagine how many of these are left after 55-60 years of diving and abuse

The ref 1004 , still on its original mesh strap as pictured in the ad's we know
I havent opened it yet so I am not sure of the serial number and thus the year but 1958-1960 ?

That is jaw-droppingly lovely. Among the very few that I've seen, many have the slime-green lume seen in the product literature you posted. This one is far nicer.

Very, very nice. I´ve had one of these on my hit least for a long, long time now together with the first Scafograf. Just love these primitive divers.
