Had a visitor ask me about this watch and since I don’t know much about the vintage stuff, I turn to you guys 🙂 His email states:

“I was wondering where I could get information on my Breitling Chrono-matic 2111 which I recently inherited from my father.

I have not been able to find a matching picture of the model I have.

It has a white face and blue “diamond” with soft edges around the two small dials which are symmetrically lined up. The hands are orange/red. The case is silver. As with the other versions I have seen, it has the crown on the right at “3 o’clock” and two push buttons at “8 and 10 o’clock”. On the back, there is a number, I don’t know if it’s a serial number (1325871). I haven’t dared to open it to look for other information.

I have seen versions with black face or asymmetrical arrangement of the small dials.

I’d like to know what year it is from. I don’t think it’s the classic 1969 I have seen in catalogs, probably early 70s. I’d also like to know what strap would be authentic for it. Mine doesn’t have the original one anymore. My father preferred nylon (!) straps … endearing but I’d like to know what strap was on it originally. Brown? Calf/Aligator?

In any case, if you could point me in the right direction where to get more information, I’d really appreciate it.”

Any help guys would be great!
