Hi folks!:-)
Does anyone know anything about this movement and it's relation to Breitling.
Someone told me that this movement was made by Breitling during the 50ies.
Further information is much appreciated!:-!
Thanks.

The Bidynator movement was made by Felsa and came in many variations from 17 jewels up to 31 jewels, with calendar and without, etc. They utilized the first multidirectional rotor system where the rotor would wind the watch moving in either direction. This Bidynator movement was used in many different brands including Breitling. Breitling did not make their own movements. These movements would date to the fifties.

Thanks a lot for the information.
This movement looks particularly interesting though for having 2 positions adjustment ( not very common) and 21 jewelled.:thanks
