About one year ago I was going through one my late Grandfather's drawers and I came across this watch. Me being the watch nut I am and noticing that the movement still winds I couldn't just put it back. After some research, a complete movement overhaul, and case polish, I found a bit out. This particular brand, Kelek, made the movement casings from Breitling and that this piece has a 1960s Breitling Chronograph movement. These details made me love the watch even more. Here is a shot taken by member Blue4reF1. Although Blake is very well versed in automotive photography his watch shots are simply impeccable. Enjoy!

PS: I urge anyone I can to get into Vintage watches, each one tells a story and has its place in history.

That's a beautiful watch. I like that its a little beat up, gives it character. Never heard of kelek though, are they still around?

 

Thank you so much,yea when i really only wanted to polish the case and keep the patina of the dial and bezel and i still have the original Tropic strap.......As a watch maker I don't believe they are but i do think they are still making movement casings.

 

Great story, cool watch, and really nice strap!

Could you share where you got the strap please? Im looking to change up the look of my watch abit

 

I went ahead and PMd you the guys info, if anyone else wants it let me know
