    Have a look at eBay, these are quite a common style of watch, they usual have a plated case and lower end pallet pin movement,
    I had a similar watch that I gave away on here years ago. I would guess £120 at a push. Don’t be taken in by the link to Breitling which is often spouted by sellers. Sicura bought the bankrupt stock and name when they went bust.
    If you like it go for it but if it goes wrong or does not work correctly it will not be economically viable to repair.

    It appears to be NOS with the box and paperwork as well. The 20mm Tropic strap is worth quite a but on its own. I would say its worth £200 in its current state factoring a service.

    Looks like a cheap chronograph movement. Based on an image of a similar model and based on what I could read. 1 jewel

    Reminds me of those simple movements that only start and stop the sweep hand while stopping the balance

    Here's the movement. Always be sure to look at the movement of any watch for condition.

    Hardly a quality movement
