Horological Meandering

Hi people....

 

I bought this watch earlier today without any knowledge about it..... I know is not a vintage but it looks rare to me..

 

It´s a little small to my rist (37mm without the crown) but has an interesting dial..

 

 

Cheers!!

I like (here goes Amanico's "curse") the lack of date that balances the dial.

I know nothing about Breitling and I have no idea about the movement (only a guess that is an ETA + DD).

Nice patina.

Let's wait for the Breitling experts.

Cheers,

Nilo

 

I could not open.... I´m affraid to scratch the case.

 

Thanks!!

I think this one dates around 1999. Looks all original except for the strap. Good catch.  This message has been edited by Spellbound on 2013-09-07 07:50:15

Is not the first time I bought from this seller... I trust him... If I have any problem, I could return it.

 

But I will send it to do a "fine tunning"....

 

Thanks!!

Though all the Breitling collectors are still scratching their head why it was called a Navitimer, as it has no rotating calculator bezel ......

All my doubts are cleared now!!!!

 

Thanks Fred

Congratulations with a nice Breitling Premier! 

The Premier without date was made in 1997/1998, it was also made with date in 1999.

The Premier was based on the 37 mm Navitimer case and used a Kelek cal. 10000/Breitling B40 movement, made especially for Breitling with 3 hours/10 minutes chronograph registers. Kelek made the movements based on a highly modified ebauche from ETA.

Breitling made about 5000 in stainless steel and about 1000 in red gold.

  

I have the model with silver dial.

Nice one you have...
