This one was worth the wait
This one caught my eye instantly and I knew I was stuck
 the blue is just right and is a sight for sore eyes (well at least mine  ).It took a while to track one down and was lucky enough to get it  It is night time where I am  pics to follow shortly.

The Navitimer Blue Sky was released in limited 500 pieces for the Navitimer 60th anniversary
 From my time around many watches of different calibers, I can comfortably say that the Navitimer is a great timepiece essential to every serious collection. This is the 1st automatic chronograph and now with Breitling's in house 01 caliber.Having a few other watches in mind, I had to move quickly and get this one once I had the chance and I think this is one of the very last ones available in Breitling Boutiques. The salesman was kind enough to give me a microfiber cloth and glove too Will have to work on my photography skills

That's a gorgeous Navitimer and I love that blue dial. Such an iconic timepiece and I agree it has a place in any serious collection. Congratulations and wear it in the best of health.

WOW! Those pics are gorgeous. I'm guessing that blue is even better in person. Congrats!

Love the navi k, in response to your question yes my navi world came on a blue croc very similar to yours. I loved it and wore it out over three years and bought the natural leather one as a change of pace a few summers ago when breitling opened their boutique around 57th in manhattan. Very cool store worth a visit if you venture that way. My navi consistently receives more compliments than any other watch I've owned and I know why. It's a beautiful piece. Enjoy yours

Your Navitimer is unique and is a beautiful watch indeed. I am thinking of going for the air racer or ocean classic bracelet sometime along the road as I am not warming up to the Navitimer bracelet.

Wear it well! |
