"Breitling Navytimer Pizza 1806 Chronomatic Microrotor Watch 1970 Steel On Leather, Box"
The emblematic pilot's watch signed BREITLING, model NAVYTIMER (1806), also called PIZZA because of its very large format of 5 cm in diameter....This chrono is offered here in its automatic version, hence its name of “Chrono-matic” written on the dial. This model for men, initially designed for use by pilots, is a stopwatch equipped with a rotating bezel, allowing you to define and evaluate a heading, as well as determine the fuel reserve. Without a permanent second hand, the watch has two dials linked to the chrono function: - a minute counter, on the right, fitted with an orange hand - an hour counter on the left in the form of a "panda" dial L The central chrono hand is distinguished by its orange color. The chrono is triggered by the push button located at the top right of the box, and reset to zero by the button at the bottom right. We can thus see that the winding crown (succinct, since it is an automatic watch) and time setting crown is unusually on the left, a specificity of this watch in its automatic version (vice versa for the version mechanical). A data window on the dial constitutes the last complication of this watch. In addition to its complications, the technical prowess of this watch lies within its movement, equipped with a micro-rotor. It is made of steel, and mounted on an anti-allergic natural rubber strap from the Rubber brand whose aesthetic reproduces Louisiana crocodile leather, fitted with a brushed steel pin buckle. This complicated watch is particularly sought after, and the beautiful patina of its dial as well as its orange hands contribute to its 70s aesthetic. The watch is signed, on its dial, on its case back and on its movement, and numbered. In perfect condition and serviced, its proper functioning is guaranteed by us for one year (except in the event of shock or immersion). This watch is accompanied by its signed leather case (maintenance service box). A rare and prestigious watch!
