I’ve always appreciated the Navitimer collection

For now, there Navitimers in my collection, my only Breitling is from the Chronomat family.

These black and white dialed watches are separated by 10 years in vintage and they represent a a big part of my journey through this hobby. One close to the beginning, one close to the present. The Breitling is built to be strong, dependable and dapper, while the Ressence the realization of one man’s creative genius. Both are powered by ETAs which tend to go about their business without fuss.

It’s interesting how my tastes have changed over the years, but I just love black dials.

It’s a classic to be sure.

Yes the newer 43MM versions have been tempting to me...
