Watches

Breitling (unidentified model)
Colonel Nicolai Antonovitch, briefing his assembled officers on a simultaneous strike against three targets, consults the Breitling on his left wrist as he tells them the attack comes in fewer than twenty-four hours. The maker is named; the model is not.

Source text: "So, Comrades. What questions do you have? Because, Comrades, we strike" and he consulted the Breitling watch at his left wrist "we strike in fewer than twenty-four hours." (Jerry Ahern, The Arsenal, scan cataloged as New English Library, 1989, p. 139; the speaker is named on pp. 135 to 137; Internet Archive scan OCR)
