Breitling Hercules Chronograph A39362; Automatic Men's Watch

Description

The Breitling Hercules Chronograph is an impressive men's watch from a period when Breitling was known for its striking, robust timepieces. With substantial dimensions, characteristic chronograph layout, and recognizable Breitling design, the Hercules is a model with a unique character. This collection has not been produced for a long time, making beautiful examples increasingly rare. A shame because this one is truly remarkable and offers great 'value-for-money'.

This particular piece has reference number A39362 and is made of stainless steel. The substantial case and integrated steel bracelet give the watch a powerful presence on the wrist. At the same time, the rounded shapes and balanced construction provide the comfort expected from a high-end Breitling.

The Breitling Hercules was only produced for a relatively short period, giving it a unique position in the brand's history. The distinctive design is typical of Breitling from this era and makes the A39362 interesting today for enthusiasts who are looking for a less common model than, for instance, a Chronomat or Navitimer.

Inside lies the high-quality Breitling Calibre 39 automatic chronograph movement. This exceptional caliber features not only the standard time display and date function but also a chronograph with a central 60-minute counter. This allows elapsed time to be read particularly clearly, and the Hercules technically distinguishes itself from many conventional chronographs.

The automatic movement has been fully checked and tested, running excellently and accurately. The chronograph functions have also been reviewed and are functioning properly.

At 45mm, it's quite a standout with significant 'wrist presence', but thanks to the somewhat rounded case shape and short lugs, it rests comfortably on the wrist, even on slimmer wrists.

The stainless steel Breitling bracelet beautifully balances the overall design and is a stunning bracelet to wear this watch on. The bracelet fits up to approximately 19cm wrists and can be extended by an additional 2cm with the diving extension in the clasp.

The sapphire crystal has a small scratch between 5 and 6 o'clock, not very noticeable but worth mentioning.

This remarkable watch comes as a complete full-set from 2004, including; Luxury Breitling box, outer box (discolored), Breitling warranty papers, COSC certificate, manual, and our warranty report with 1-year warranty.
