redwatch Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hi folks, While I was in Toronto at the GTG with Toad and Andreww I got an opportunity to check out Andreww's beautiful Navitimer. He is one of the lucky ones like HackR to have one of the early versions of the rep with a bezel that lines up perfectly. I never thought I would like that watch, but it really is quite stunning! I started to research the watch a little bit, and came across one very interesting variation. Produced from 1997 to 2002, the Navitmer Spatiographe: This is one stunning looking watch!! I found a dial on eBay for sale, but I can't imagine finding a movement to go with this would be very easy? Anyone have one of these, or have any info on it?

chiman12 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Yes!!! This is a really cool looking Breitling. I had to decide between this and the B-2...I purchased the B-2...maybe that was a bad decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I like it too. The dial is less busy than the regular Navi. Very elegant. I finally realized why I'm not too crazy about BCE and Navitimer... I don't wear straps and I'm not a big fan of the Breitling Pilot bracelet (isn't that what they call it). I prefer the Pro2 on Breits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm normally with you BT. I normally prefer the oyster or jubilee straps and when i had the SOSF I preferred it on the SS strap than the croc. However, when I tried on Andreww's on the gen Breitling black leather strap, I was blown away by how comfortable it was!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Im actually wearing it today Red, and it is very comfortable! The Spatiographe is a beaut, but unfortunately it'll never get repped because of the movement. I am really dumbfounded as to why we haven't seen a super-rep of the Navi yet. Sure, my 1st gen is a decent replication, but standard have improved greatly over the 5 years since its release. Its one of the world's top ten most popular watches IMO, and there would most certainly be a huge demand for a well done version. BTW Red, I brought it on leather, but the bracelet is every bit as comfortable IMO, and it gives the watch a totally different look and feel. Probably a bit too blingy, but perfect for special occasions. If you ever decide to buy a Navi, I'd recommend buying it on a bracelet, then buy a gen leather strap later.

redwatch Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Thanks for the tip Andreww! I usually try to get the bracelet with the watches I buy and then get the strap to go with it. I did that for my SOSF. The hunt is on for a properly aligned slide rule bezel Navi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
