I had been looking for a Navitimer on a bracelet for some time but very few seem to come up for sale on the pre-owned market. Last March I was lucky enough to find a 50th Anniversary Edition A41322 I bought it even thgough it had a few problems including a sticking stem and was in need of a service.

I have always liked this version because it has the old Breitling "doublewing" logo (first used on the Navitimer around 1960) of two planes flying in close formation. The case and bracelet are brushed in contrast to the shiny polished finish usually found on modern Navitimers. The movement is the B.41 an ETA 2892-A2 base with Dubois Depraz chronograph module.

Anyway here it is many months after it went to Breitling!

Lovely watch.

Out of interest did they service the DD module or replace it?

If replaced, roughly how much did they charge for the module?

Thats an awesome watch!

I once spoted a Navitimer at a local pawn shop. The shop owner wanted 1200 for it. I didn't pull the trigger that weekend... needless to say, I am still kicking myself on that one.
