FS: Chrono automatic BREIL MANTA "CERTIFICAT" circa 1980

Hi, for sale a rare Breil MANTA "CERTIFICAT 2157" automatic chronograph Swiss made with 7750 Valjoux.
This rare chronograph has an interesting "militar look" (resembling Orfina design) and the same engraving on the bottom you can find on others Breil
used by Comsubin (special submariner militar troops in Italy), although has not any militar assignation.

All stainless steel, case satined without bumps, dings, shows normal signs of use; mineral glass without schratched; diameter is 40,5 mm between 3hour and 9 hour, 43,5 between 6 hour and 12 hour. Movement Valjoux 7750 automatic
with quickset date and day. Dial is perfect. Movement is clean. Back cover reports: "CERTIFICAT N° 2157", low "1155" (probably serial number);
around "INCABLOC - ANTIMAGNETIC - STAINLESS STEEL - WATERPROOF".
The chronograph functioning perfectly, keeps good time, regular power reserve, chrono starts, stops and reset as should.
I don't know its service history, I don't know about water resistance . I am a collector, not a commercial seller, so I cannot give any guarantee except as described.
Please look carefully pictures. Wristwatch as far as I know is fully functional and keeps good time. Remember it is a wristwatch of more than 30 years ago.

For this chronograph I ask 500€ (paypal no fees for me, or money transfer) +shipping. Chronograph is located here in Italy.

I am "asquinet" on ebay and on many wristwatches forum. Feel free to ask any further picts or info.
