As an importer and manufacturer of high quality timepieces, Wakmann Watch Company was founded in New York in 1946, and became known as experts in the world of chronographs and multipurpose timekeeping. At the time, the US had increased duties on imported Swiss watches, which opened the door for Wakmann to partner up with Breitling. Wakmann would receive a batch of nearly complete watches from Switzerland, which would then undergo final assembly before being sold under the Wakmann name. Beyond “re-branded” watches, Wakmann also supplied timekeeping devices for the Armed Forces, U.S. Government, commercial airlines, and radio/television studios as part of their Breitling relationship. Later the company would be purchased by Breitling and absorbed into the larger and more successful umbrella.

This is a great example of a 60's / 70's chronograph, coming in at 36mm. The dial is a very nice reverse panda color combo. The dial and hands are original and untouched. The watch itself is in incredible condition. Stainless steel case. The watch runs on the fabled Valjoux 77x movement, that is humming along with no problems at all.  

The watch is keeping time, and the chronograph runs + resets perfectly with no issues.
