Mmm,, I don`t know but looking here,, you need to find out !! Don`t touch it til you do !!  NAWCC,, National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors may be where you need to ask !!  They do not do values but they can probably tell you if its real or not !!  I have never heard of a knock off with that name !!

If it's battery powered, most likely a fake. Here's some information on telling the difference.

It does appear to be a battery operated.  Most of the Breitling chronometers were automatic wind.  I assume you have tried a new battery to see if there is any sort of activity?

Looks like a knockoff.  Unfortunately my "Better Half" brings back lots of watches from Hong Kong for friends that want them for a wee bit of money compared to originals.  (He doesn't charge for it just gets it for them!)  Half the fun of going to those markets is bartering the prices.

That said, there are people willing to buy knockoffs or they wouldn't have them!
