Breitling Owner Review : Dazzling, addictive and rare

I have always been a big fan of Breitling watches, the Navitimer is in my eyes one of the most iconic watches there is… but I quickly had to get used to the idea that the vast majority of Breitling productions were of a diameter far too imposing for my small wrists… I had to mourn… until I came across this little gem! A superb example from the 60s, in solid gold, with magnificent guilloché work on the cream dial, gold hands too, a Bydinator movement (one of the first rotors to be able to move freely in both directions of rotation), and, the cherry on the cake, a diameter of 34mm! It runs like a modern clock, lasts a little less than 40 hours, and dresses the wrist both discreetly due to its small size, but it has a real presence and crazy class. Old-fashioned charm. For this watch I also went through a whole range of different straps, fine leathers (16mm), others more classic in 18mm (the watch has an atypical lug width of 17mm, which leaves the possibility of playing a little with the different straps), even an old gold steel strap expandable for the Bling side to the end. In short, an exceptional piece that I have immense pleasure in wearing, and which does not fail to catch the eye of connoisseurs and neophytes alike. In the end, you can always find a shoe that fits you...
