In a community where horological passions run deep, HNB Official Watches sparks a delightful debate by asking collectors to identify their single favorite timepiece. This seemingly simple question quickly uncovers the complex emotional and practical considerations that shape a collector's bond with their watches. The ensuing discussion, initiated by HNB Official Watches' own Breitling A23322 Navitimer, reveals that 'favorite' is a multifaceted concept, often evolving with experience and acquisition.

I thought it would be fun if everyone posted a pic of their favorite watches. I’ll start: Breitling A23322 Navitimer


About the Breitling Avenger II Ref. A23322

The Breitling Navitimer reference A23322 is a chronograph model from the Navitimer collection, distinguished by its slide rule bezel and automatic movement. This particular reference features a classic dial configuration and is presented in a stainless steel case, aligning with the traditional aesthetic of the series while offering modern manufacturing standards. It represents a period in the Navitimer's evolution that maintained core design principles.

This reference is powered by the Breitling Caliber B13, an automatic chronograph movement providing a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The watch is housed in a 43 mm stainless steel case, fitted with a sapphire crystal. It offers a water resistance of 30 meters. The case design incorporates the characteristic bidirectional rotating slide rule bezel.

This Navitimer variant appeals to collectors seeking a robust and functional chronograph with a strong historical lineage within the brand's offerings. Its consistent design language and mechanical movement position it as a representative example of the Navitimer line during its production years. Variants typically involved different dial colors and strap options.

Still this one…

Although I have worn it rather seldom during the last year due to (too) many new acquisitions. Best Thomas
