A Turning Point Marked by the “Twin Jet” Logo: BREITLING TRANSOCEAN 18K Solid Rose Gold 1964 Now Available

BREITLING TRANSOCEAN 18K Solid Rose Gold Circa 1964

“PRINCIPE PRIVE - Epoca d’Oro,” known for its carefully selected vintage timepieces, has added the BREITLING TRANSOCEAN 18K Solid Rose Gold 1964 to its collection.

The “TRANSOCEAN” was a high-performance timepiece designed for professionals in the age of intercontinental air travel, featuring robust shock, anti-magnetic, and water resistance. The crosshair on the dial is often said to represent aircraft radar. This model reflects a pivotal era when Breitling was establishing its authority as an aviation brand while concurrently innovating in the field of ultra-thin automatic watches.

The watch is powered by the Cal.B126 movement, which utilizes a “switching rocker” system to enhance winding efficiency while keeping the movement thin. The uniquely shaped, wing-like rotor bears the “TRANSOCEAN” engraving. Notably, the caseback features the “Twin Jet” logo, which was adopted around 1964 and remains one of the brand's most popular designs.

Crafted with a French 18K rose gold case and bearing the eagle head hallmark, this piece stands as an exceptional vintage find. It is available for purchase on the official PRINCIPE PRIVE - Epoca d’Oro website.
