Japan only limited edition announced at Basel. 100 steel and 50 red gold Cal 33 movement, Ref: A/R33350 and 38mm diameter. In essence, it's a Navitimer Quatre (another Japan only LE) with a different coloured dial.    Pics courtesy of ClubBreitlingIsrael |

I like that. Yet another Japanese LE that is nicer than pretty much anything else that they have come up with for the rest of the world. I honestly don't understand how they can come up with something like this but then make it such a restricted availability piece. |

It is beautiful - yet lets be honest - it's nothing more than a cosmetically re-vamp of the Navitimer Airborne. Tho still stunning!!! I wonder if they do these Japan only Limited Editions because then can get a much higher premium for their watches there as oppose to any where else in the world? Dunno - but just food for thought! Or just cleaning house & getting rid of older stock - and/or a combination of both? Best Regards, Enezdez |

very nice. Maybe the Breitling, in house, design department should hire someone from Japan! |

Isn't that just a special dial on the Navitimer Airborne? |

I think it's one of the best looking watches in the Navitimer lineup, just too small for my taste. |

I like it a lot and it's not too small in my books. Shame it's not released out here. |

Out of curiosity , how much is the catalogue price asked for this one and what are the discounts the japanese Ling ADs give out in general ? |
