NWA- 1990's Tropical A12020 Cosmonaute.

After the arrival of my 1 of 400 Japan Limited Edition Navitimer last week, within 24hrs I had bought another 90's Navitimer.

This time a A12020 that seemed to show some nice Patina on the Sub Dials. The watch arrived today and HOLY PATINA, the yellowing of the Slide Rule and the Grain effect of the Sub Dial is something else.

I suppose you can say I am now a Navitimer Coolector :P

Very nice! The collection is growing and this historically significant model is certainly worthy of being collected!

I really like the look of the sundials, and this 24 hour version is rare. Any shots of the case back?

Nice! I really like the designs / watches from the instruments for professionals era. This is such an incredibly cool watch! So you ever find yourself using the slide rule? This too can be useful (for fun) to calculate things you might need to know as needed.
