Breitling question
Hello, apologies in advance for a not a Rolex related question. I’m being told that the right bottom
Chrono button is non functional and serves no purpose. Can anyone verify this. TIA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What you have there is an AB015412 Breitling Limited Edition 43mm "Hunter Caseback" (flip-open rear cover, akin to a pocket watch) from around 2014. (There should be a number XXXX of XXXX on the left case side.) It was a "Boutique sale only" reference. It came with a special mini-link bracelet of extreme flexibility and fascinating design. Hope the bracelet is there for this item; you photo does not show it.
The upper pusher 'should' start/stop the Chronograph. The bottom one 'should' be the hands' 'reset' feature. At least, that is typical Chronograph convention, although I do not know the specifics of this reference. I have never heard of a Chronograph where one of the pushers is non-functional. [If there was no NEED for a pusher, they would not have gone to the expense of adding it.] The dial seems to be designed(?) to appeared patina'd? Here is a video of the watch (NO pusher operation is shown): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRRNqsSagWs Hope this helps!
