I spotted a couple of Navitimers in a jewellers , they are perfect in every way. The detailing and work on the dial and bezel sets it right off.

They are 46mm? Arent they? Big for me , but very tempted one day. I am sure Tiff Needell is a custodian of one. amongst many other fans , i just used to keep seeing it on Top Gear and Fith Gear.

Hi

I think over the years they have ranged from 37-48mm., there have been a LOT of Navitimers over the years., quite a few around the 42mm, check out Breitlingsource for info

Thanks but you know it's a "fake"?

As in, it's a desk clock in the style of a cockpit guage, It's a bit smaller than the length of a hand

It was given to me as a gift with a Bretling, so it's not quite what it looks like but I think it's quite a cool thing for "free"

Lovely watch and plenty of good examples out there, great choice of sizes, dials, etc.

I do like these kind of things. I was going to post pics of my clocks, but I realise they are already in this thread.

I've a few other Breitling bits that are non watches too, laptop bag, glasses etc.

Had this just over a month, my first Breitling that I bought myself as a 30th birthday present. I'd promised myself one for a little while now so was very excited when I finally was able to afford one.

I really like the Breitling Colt and bought one about 15 years ago. Value end of the Breitling range but it looks so right to me.

Mine is 38mm which was probably standard at the time but most watches seem to have got bigger, and i have another watch thats 42 nd i am beginning to wish my colt was 42mm too.

I've got a Colt Automatic that is 44mm.

Had this for about 10 years. Didn't sell it in my recent collection clearout because it was won in a card game in Glasgow with some very shady characters so it's provenance is, let's say, uncertain.

Great watch tho' if you like heavyweight 48mm timepieces.
