Breitling Navitimer 1959 Re Editions, in platinum, rose gold and steel.
59 pieces in platinum: 
159 pieces in rose gold:
And 1959 pieces in steel.
While the steel is " fairly " priced, the rose gold is around 20, 000 Euros, and the platinum is 29, 500 Euros. A price escalade we well know with Omega and the platinum and gold Seamaster 300 and Speedmasters.
A phenomenon which doesn't impress me favorably. Even if each of these versions is superbly looking.
Compared to the original, which, in my opinion, is the most desirable...
Best,
Nicolas

While I agree the original is THE one, mon ami, some of us . . .
Were not around in 1959!😜 ...
I had ignored Breitling for a long time!
This piece made me pay attention to the brand! ...
The design is identical with the original and i particularly like the brushed caseband.
However, i find it a bit let down for only 30 meter WR for a 9000 USD sport/tool watch. I am pretty sure Breitling has capability to increase the WR up to 100 mtr even without screw down crown. IWC can do it, Seiko can do it. A bit lazy IMO.
Hahaha....but I have read somewhere that pilots are more likely touch the water (read : land in the ocean)
Than a car driver touch the sea )
Well, WR is consistent with the original . . .
Breitling didn’t consider WR as a priority for pilot’s watches back then. I was reading the Hodinkee article on the water damage to Scott Carpenter’s Cosmonaute: ...
