Breitling x 3

30's 40's and 50's Breitling

Late 30's came first, unknown till 40x and getting the light just right then a bit of photoshop revealed Origin.


Then the 1940's Chronomat


Here's the thread on this one:

And now, back from a service(arrived needing a new 4th wheel) a 1958 AOPA ref 806 NaviTimer


From Kurt Brondum's excellent site, it's a series 1 with mkII hands.

WOG on movement so imported into US by Wakmann.

Years ago I bought this 22mm NOS KestenMade bracelet, so why not use it?


These are to be found, just not so much in this condition, in and out. My watchmaker manually cleaned the outer track/giltWings

Happy to have waited for just the right one😀

And happy to add to the Forum as others before me have done for inspiration and guidance.

Comments and corrections are welcomed.

That's quite an amazing triplet, and the Navitimer is extra special. Now you need an airplane to go with it.

I know my limits! I pay someone @Mad Dog to fly me here and there....

Love the all black Navitimer. I had one, sold it....but it's for sure back on the 'need one again' high priority list.
