Isn't Breitling knocking it out of the park when it comes to their chronographs watches? Years ago I really did not like the Breitling brand but they are doing some amazing things right now. The Navitimer in an iconic watch. I think just as much so as the Rolex Daytona. In fact I would definitely consider a Breitling chronograph over the Daytona. Their movements I believe are matching up with and may be surpassing Rolex movements. Breitling is on the move upwards! Hope they keep it up.

My Navitimer 46mm is my prize possession. It has the window on the back that is missing from yours. I have the metal band, black leather band with holes/tang clasp, and a black leather band with deployment clasp. I have always wanted this watch, and now that I have one, nothing will make me part with it. I always love watching your videos because I know you're a Breitling enthusiast. Thank you.

A Breitling Navitimer was seen in the Bond movie Thunderball. Bond shows it to Domino, after finding in the submerged Avro Vulcan bomber off Nassau in the Bahamas. The watch was here her brother Francois.

Correct. And Connery as Bond uses a modified Top Time as a gadget watch with a built in geiger counter. So Breitling got at least two of their watches into that movie, and both as plot devices too.

That chocolate brown leather strap from the Breitling is wonderful. Breitling and the other great luxury watch makers deliver amazing quality even by the used materials, design, durability, reliability and incomparable beauty. The watches above $3000-5000 ( and much more higher ) allow completely different and certainly great feeling to wear them, but you know what? I have a very nice, humble friend, wearing some 30 years old Chinese watch, which working very well for him and the LOVE of this guy to the life and to this time piece, like hold the greatest possible value of that watch. For me his example is very worthy, however I'm different, I strive for the higher quality, that's why I still choose Swiss or German made watches while I hold certain honour to the people who are wearing something much more commercial watches. I truly respect them in theirs own opportunities and chooses as the thing, to wear any kind of watch, in itself a great thing. We usually care about WHAT we eat, wear, etc but probably less much, HOW! Great video, thank you TGV! Best wishes! Robert :)

Not to be too contrarian here, TGV, but for a lot of us the top of the list for chronographs is the Heuer Autavia reference 2446, aka the "Jochen Rindt". Just look at the prices they are commanding in the vintage market. As for Rattrapante chronographs, the Sinn 910 is more interesting for me. Cheers, Stephen

Thanks so much, Tristano, for the review of this gorgeous watch! The Navatimer is my grail watch, don’t know if I’ll ever be able to afford one. The rattrapante is my second favorite complication, after the chronograph. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, my six in three-quarter inch is too small for this watch. That’s fine, because I like the look of the 41 mm Aurora blue dial B01 even better.

I'm curious can the main chronograph hand stop visually, but be still going in the background? and when you press the pusher, it kinda catches up to where it would be, like other chrographs do. That way you can have two stops - one seconds hand, and one chrono arrow hand - while it still kinda goes in the background, no?

I just wish they'd do the current Navitimer 01 (or the 01 46mm) in the same blue as your A23322 with white/silvered subdials and inner bezel. Doesn't need to be the Rattrapante. I think the larger sizes would suit my scale better, plus there's getting the B01 movement into the bargain. As if things stay as they are (which is likely), I'm saving up for both a Sinn 903 St Black (903041) and eventually a blue A23322.

Hello sir, Great video again. I have a dear love for the Navitimer. My colt 41 auto was a gateway drug also thanks to you. It is wonderfully simple and yet intricate as well. It would be great if you could so a Navitimer buying guide from new to used, and which models are the best value in terms of age, price, features, etc. Their has to be a sweet spot that you can get a Navi in good condition at a good price. Can you help us find where the condition vs Price vs features lines intersect for a good buy? I know you have done vids on Navitimers, but is another one possible?

Originally I was going to buy an Omega Rattrapante, either the De Ville 44 or the Broad Arrow. Then I learned Omega used the Piguet 1286, which apparently has a tendency to blow up, even the newer ones with the upgrades. I've been on the hunt for a Rattrapante for a while and with Omega out, I don't have many options left. I already have a Zenith, a Glashutte, don't like IWC, wasn't even going to consider GP or Panerai, and I certainly don't want to drop a years salary on a Patek or Lange (the double split is my grail). It looks like Breitling might be the only way to go, and it pains me to think that; resale value, size, etc. I gotta admit though, Breitling has stepped up their game by building an all in-house Rattrapante and supplying movements to Tudor.

(20mm lugwidth) Great video as always, but I would have loved to see how you start the Rattrapante, then stop the ''normal'' chronograph and then set it back without catching the Rattrapantehand up at first. Or is that not possible? PS: sorry for my bad english :O

Nice review! wanted to add the small detail - along with rattrapante chrono they actually also implemented jumping minute hand. look at chrono minute counter at 3 o'clock - as chrono second hand passes the zero minute hand jumps to the next minute (not gradually moves along with second hand to the next minute) - it is nice touch. good watch - a bit large but nice.

Thanks TVG, appreciate the heads-up on the mesh bracelets. Ya..my 46 mm Navi is a little big for your wrist. My wrist is 8.25 inches...so I can handle a big watch. What I like about the new model Navitimers is the new B01 column wheel/vertical clutch movement.... and I think the solid gold applied emblem on the dial just rocks it! vs the older painted wing emblem. But..the vintage Navi's are awesome too. I'm in alaska..but if ever in New York.....I would love to take you and your wife out to dinner and talk watches. LOL

I love it how they split the logo in the second hands. That's not blingy at all, that is a getleman's watch. Blingy is a pimp's choice :-) That is a precision instrument. Takes a lot of skill to service too. A slide rule bezel really needs to be as big as you can carry. It annoys me that I can hardly use one without a magnifying glass anymore. You can make quite an impression when you use your watch to find out that 26 x 37 is about 960 :-)

The Navitimer range in general is a rather large watch, and, for that reason, it may not appeal to some buyers. I should also point out that Breitling's _Rattrapante_ watches seem to have come down in price over the years due to the simplification of the complications inside the watches. One correction to this video commentary: Breitling made an extremely attractive Rattrapante in the 1990s. So, they did not stop making Rattrapantes for as long as you state in your presentation. The 1990s Breitling Rattrapante model is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen, but it is *not* cheap, even when second-hand. The Breitling model number is *H34030.* I think it may have been a Limited Edition model with a gold case, but there could have been other Rattrapantes manufactured by Breitling at the time that were not Limited in numbers. I collect Breitling watches, but only mid 1990s models. To me, that was the absolute pinnacle of Breitling designs and beauty. I fell in love with Breitling watches at that time (the 90s) before they became the bigger re-launched name that they have become since then.

I walked into a shop recently looking for a navitimer, they had the h34030 in yellow gold just in serviced by Breitling. The dealer wanted to get rid of it and had no idea what it was, I didn't either but it looked and worked like no other navitimer I have seen. I have a few F.Piguet chronos and I recognized the movement's quirks and layout so I decided to buy it. After some research I was shocked at what it was... There is a A34040 and L34040(plat) plus an avenger rattrapante, each limited at 25 pieces h34030 was limited to 100. It was truly a limited series with less than 175 rattrapantes made by breitling in the 1990s with a movement that was the best automatic rattrapante available at the time, and only used in these 175 pieces. Unlike today's limited editions where have over 2k units shipped with reissues, and the movement would simply be the same as the normal versions but with a different case.

I suppose all is relative TGV, but I don't know 10k is especially good value. Either way, enjoyed the review as always TGV. Any hope that you'll review the Fortis Flieger Professional?

Well, considering what you get, it is all relative like you so rightly say. Would I ever pay that? Most likely no! But there are few watches as iconic, with a movement this complex, innovative and all in-house, so VERY impressive and not cheap to do! But you know this and I had to be honest about it. As for the Fortis Flieger, of course! Eventually I will cover it. I am a bit Fortis heavy at the moment so it will be a while but it is a brand I adore and have a massive respect for so stay tuned! I can say this ahead of time, I have worn a few of their Fliegers, AMAZING!!! Thank you Drew, great comment. Best regards, TGV
