Here we have a 47mm Breitling Sicura, one of those solid steel time machines that not only tells the time, but seems to want to dominate it, grab it, hold it for an extra second before it slips away again. A watch with 4 crowns, because just one wasn't enough. A dial that is a mix between the dashboard of a submarine and the cockpit of a war fighter. Numbers, scales, arrows, indicators that seem to tell you: “Have you ever wondered how complex it is to really measure time?”
Safe, for those who don't know, it is the brand that Breitling acquired in the 1970s when it was about to sink under the weight of the quartz crisis. So, technically, this is a Breitling, but of that strange and wild breed that you find not in glittering boutiques, but on the wrists of those who love the glamor of an era when watches were tools, not status symbols.

The diameter is 47mm, which means that it will not go unnoticed on the wrist. The strap has been replaced with a sporty one, black with orange stitching, which perfectly matches the technical and aggressive look of the piece. It's not a watch for everyone. It is for those who look at time not only as a succession of seconds, but as an enigma to be deciphered.
Works? Yes. Is it accurate? It depends on what you mean by precision. Is this the kind of watch a 1970s airline pilot would wear? Absolutely yes.
If you have the right wrist and the right philosophy of life, this Breitling Sicura is just waiting for you.
