Breitling Navitimer Watch Hands-On

The steel-cased A1732024/B868 replica has the "heritage" dial and is 27.5mm wide by 46mm tall. Inside the watch is a manually wound Breitling made calibre 822 mechanical movement. The logo applied to the caseback is joined with the number in the limited edition. It comes with a letter written by Weiner as the character Roger Sterling, who is presenting the A2432212/B726 replica watch as a gift. It also comes with a book (that I believe can be purchased separately) called "Sterling's Gold", which includes selected amusing quotes from the show. It is a good looking watch, and Weiner seems to like his. It goes with his style rather fluidly.

As a concept this limited edition is interesting. It is a subtle homage to the influence of show, a reminder of the timeless design of the http://www.syrauto.com/good-quality-breitling-transocean-chronograph-unitime-ab0510u4-bb62-ss-imitation-watches-3h8s.html, and a unique limited edition piece specially designed to appeal to superocean heritage show lovers. This is like a much classier way of enjoying superocean heritage in the same way a Star Trek fan might wear Vulcan ears.

Breitling was actually a piece of the show before it was sold to AMC according to Weiner. As I understand it he bought a Breitling Memovox alarm watch that he wanted Don Draper to wear - which he kinda does in the first season. Here is where Hollywood magic comes in. They can't actually really use expensive props on set. So things get reproduced. The prop Navitimer created a sort of make believe watch that had the case of a Breitling Memovox, and a dial based on the look of a Rolex Cellini. Yes, that is part of why he got fired. No more of that under Weiner's watchful gaze.The Breitling Mad for Navitimer watch is a fun way to enjoy superocean heritage off the screen. As I mentioned, it is a highly limited piece.

While this is not the first time we are seeing a major high-end brand use meteorite for its dials – the white gold Rolex Daytona springing to mind as another more interesting offering – it sure is fascinating to see this novel (and perhaps timeless) material find its way into such an elegant model of another highly refined Swiss brand. The result certainly is a mixed bag, in a sense that some will like the idea of the added depth and "action" to an otherwise rather conservatively styled piece, while others will arguably dislike it for the same reason.

Either way, using such a seldom seen material for the dial certainly is a more creative way of creating a re-edition of a recently released model than what we are used to seeing, such as the addition of another precious metal or a slightly updated color scheme. As a direct consequence of this more unusual modification, we feel safe saying that the Breitling Navitimer is a most welcome addition to the Navitimer Control line of watches.
