andreww Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Sinn bought the breitling company at one point, including unfinished stock. They released a Sinn Navitimer using those parts for a short time. Edited January 5, 2014 by andreww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rionrlty Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 In the late seventies Albert Wajs and Joseph Olech purchased the Navitimer tooling and parts out of receivership, but not the intellectual property rights to the name. There trademark was and still is to this day O&W and they still make the watch today. They can even furnish original NOS parts for the seventies vintage Navitimers. For a while they actually labeled the watches as Navitimer (I had one) but sometime during the late 80s or early 90s were made to stop and renamed the watches "Aviator". They sell only over the internet, thru marketer Chronotime and the watches are and always have been around 1/3 the price of the Breitling Navitimer. They have recently started making more styles of O&W watches. They are all genuine 100% Swiss made and have a very good reputation for reliability and workmanship, especially with the Military. The link below will take you to their site.http://www.chronotime.ch/6101.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
