Designed to be worn with the same natural ease as traveling across open seas, the Transocean was introduced as \u003cstrong data-start=\"339\" data-end=\"379\"\u003eBreitling’s first ultra-thin caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e and is also widely recognized as \u003cstrong data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"462\"\u003eBreitling’s first chronometer-certified model\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"735\"\u003eOne of the most remarkable aspects of this watch lies in the exceptional quality of the movement within. The \u003cstrong data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"590\"\u003eCaliber B126\u003c\/strong\u003e, which later gave rise to the chronometer-certified \u003cstrong data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"659\"\u003eCaliber B124\u003c\/strong\u003e, represents a major technical evolution in Breitling’s automatic movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"1135\"\u003eEarlier systems relied on a reverser mechanism positioned between the rotor and the mainspring barrel. With the B125, Breitling adopted a more advanced solution in order to achieve a slimmer construction. By employing \u003cstrong data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"979\"\u003etwo switching wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e and introducing a \u003cstrong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003eswitching rocker winding system\u003c\/strong\u003e, the number of components could be reduced while maintaining efficient winding in a single direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1378\"\u003eThis design not only allowed the movement to become more compact, but also preserved the use of a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003elarge screw balance\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing both precision and visual beauty. The result is a movement whose mechanical elegance is simply breathtaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1660\"\u003eEven the rotor itself reflects the importance of the model. Shaped like the wings of a bat, the rotor is engraved with the model name \u003cstrong data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1531\"\u003e“TRANSOCEAN.”\u003c\/strong\u003e This detail alone suggests that Breitling held particularly high expectations for this model compared with others in its lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"2009\"\u003eBreitling has historically changed its emblem design numerous times—more than ten variations since 1942—each marking a new era in the brand’s history. Around \u003cstrong data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"1828\"\u003e1964\u003c\/strong\u003e, the brand introduced the emblem featuring \u003cstrong data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1888\"\u003etwo aircraft\u003c\/strong\u003e, often referred to as the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1930\"\u003e“Twin Wing”\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"1948\"\u003e“Twin Jet”\u003c\/strong\u003e logo, which began appearing across various Breitling models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2207\"\u003eFor this particular watch, however, Breitling created a distinctive identity. The caseback is deeply engraved with the name \u003cstrong data-start=\"2135\" data-end=\"2152\"\u003e“TRANSOCEAN,”\u003c\/strong\u003e serving almost as a coat of arms for the model itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2209\" data-end=\"2509\"\u003eFurther emphasizing its authenticity and prestige, the watch bears the **French 18-carat gold hallmark—the eagle head—**clearly stamped on the caseback, lugs, and case side. The material itself is \u003cstrong data-start=\"2406\" data-end=\"2434\"\u003esolid 18-carat rose gold\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the watch a rich crimson tone that radiates an unforgettable aura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2511\" data-end=\"2679\"\u003eThis presence is not merely aesthetic; it reflects the significance of the \u003cstrong data-start=\"2586\" data-end=\"2612\"\u003efirst-generation model\u003c\/strong\u003e, a piece that carries undeniable historical importance and status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2681\" data-end=\"2907\"\u003eThere is little doubt that the fortunate individual who comes to own this remarkable Transocean will possess not only a watch of extraordinary craftsmanship, but also a companion capable of bringing a lifetime of satisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1283\" data-start=\"1079\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- wrist size in our picture is 17cm circumference -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage BREITLING Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53136194634035,"sku":null,"price":1210000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/1076\/0499\/files\/B9F405CB-AF19-4FB8-A425-83675B2ADC26.jpg?v=1776672679","url":"https:\/\/principe-prive-epocadoro.com\/products\/breitling-18k-transocean-1964s","provider":"PRINCIPE PRIVE - Epoca d'Oro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
