Leased to the TV Show "For All Mankind"
- Pleasing Condition - 1 Year Warranty
Today's auction showcases this
highly functional and well-designed Certified Pre-Owned Breitling
Aerospace bi-metal
titanium and gold watch wristwatch that
was leased to the popular, award-winning Apple TV show "For
All Mankind" in 2022 and worn by multiple characters throughout
the series.
These Aerospace watches are feature rich
to say the least - they have everything but the kitchen sink. Besides
the analog hour and minutes functions, this watch possesses these
digital functions:
- Local Time (hh:mm:ss) and analog without
second hand
- Date + Seconds display
- Date + Date display
- Quick-setting hour for easy time-zone changing
- Alarm for Local Time, repeating if not
canceled
- Chronograph - simple count up with
stop/start, 100th seconds for first hour, seconds after that, up to
48h00m00s
- Count down timer with alarm, from 23h59m59s
down to 1s, alarm with repeat if not canceled
- Second Time Zone (hh:mm:ss)
- Repetition Minutes - time chimed out if crown
depressed when time is digitally displayed
Operating its functions is easy, as everything is done through
the crown. This watch is one of the less
common bi-metal versions made from titanium and gold.
It is in pleasing condition - about an 8.5 out of
10. The glareproofing film coating the sapphire crystal, nearly
always full of hairlines after a bit of use, is wonderful mint.
The back has fairly light remnants of wear throughout from the
bracelet contacting it, and the small gold riders tabs on the
bezel show moderate wear. On the wrist, it presents beautifully.
Cosmetically
we have left the watch just as it was after finishing its lease.
Included
with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty
on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed
Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
