13 days from now and I'll enter into my 40th year. Last Kev09 post reminded me that I received, 20 years ago, one of the nicest present I have ever get.
My parents offered me a Breitling Navitimer Spatiographe Montbrillant for my 20th birthday (as you probably already understood) and I really entered in the horology world at that time. So sweet memory.
This timepiece already shared half of my lifetime and I hope to pass it down to my son for his 20th birthday. I have time because he is only 4.5 years old today 
For the moment, I enjoy it... for the next 15.5 years ;-)
Below a wristshot and few macro pics.
Sub second dial
10 minutes countdown
3 hours chrono sub dial
Buckle macro. As you can easily see, it has few wrinkles... like me ;-)
Best wishes

Wonderful watch and story, Alkiro!
Here's my Breitling Aerospace I got as a graduation present in return ...
Nice story and watch! Your close-ups are very nice!
I've been wondering for a while now: why is there no forum about Breitling on here? All the best, and thanks for sharing, Best, É.
Thank you very much for your kind words
Well, I can't answer to your question about Breitling. May be a moderator will tell you why. Best wishes Alkiro
What a lovely 20th birthday gift you got.
Contiue to enjoy it in good health and look after it carefully for that little boy. I'm sure it will mean a great deal to him when he's 20. Regards Kev.
Thank you Kev
I hope you'll give us your feeling (and the one of your son) after the 18th birthday of your son ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Didn't know that you are such a young gun ;-)
Did this nice gift from your parents at an age of 20 kick off your love for watches or did it start later or even earlier? Best, Volker
LOL not so young now :-) 40 is really a turning point in life even if everything is in the head for me.
Well, I really loved watches before but I had no money to buy something else than few Swatch and a Casio (that I still own today). Best wishes Alkiro
Super cool and great present, your dad must be proud of you...
The nice blue dial has been so popular for watches in 2016/2017 and yours already lead the trend 20yrs ago. Congratulations on this one, heirloom piece. Rgds Raymond
Thank you my friend ;-)
My father is proud of me (I hope so!) but my mother too. The post treatment of my pictures can let you think that the dial is blue but no, it's black. But your remark is funny because I really love another Breitling from the same period (90s). A blue dial...
The 52 weeks is more balanced on the dial
A great choice which I debated between it and moonphase before my acquisition
