The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi All!

Can Anyone Tell Me What Is The Practical Purpose If Any For Such A Complication As Found In The Navitimer 1461/52?

Thanks For You Prompt Replies In Advance!

Cheers,

Enezdez

Business owners who operate their fiscal year from Jan 1 - Dec 31 it's very useful to know which week of the fiscal year they're in ...for reporting purposes etc. That's the only practical purpose I can come up with.

Can the 52 week complication be set independently? If so, that would be very useful for any business owner interest in tracking which week of the fiscal year they're in.

If your stranded alone on a deserted island.... you can tell what week is X-mas holiday vacation..... so you won't have to report to work at this time .

Probably won't be getting a new Breitling for a present also . Unless you also happen to have a Breitling Emergency handy!

(sorry,didn't have a better answer)

A Friend Had Told Me This When I First Got The Watch But He Also Added That It Was Mostly Used For This Purpose In Europe Is This Correct Or Is The Same Significance Given Here In The States & North America?

I Am Not Aware If The 52 Week Complication Can Be Set Independently; However, Since You Have Brought Up A Very Interesting Point, I Will Call Breitling And Inquire. Nonetheless, I Think That The Answer Is Yes Because Each Complication I.E Day, Date, Month, & 52 Week Can Be Manipulated With The Push-Pin Tool Independently. As A Result It Is Tricky To Have Them All Working Together In A Cohesive Manner When Initially Programing The Watch.



It's Ok, It Could Of Been Worse We Could Of Been Talking About A Timex - At Least I Am Sporting A Breitling On This Island! LMAO

Like so many other complications (moonphase) the practical applications are limited, but as noted this does have practical applications for societies that use weekly calendars more - generally a European thing.

That's What My Friend Had Said When I 1st Got It - But I Wanted Confirmation.

Thank You All For Your Kind Replies & I Will Look Into As Previously Stated Above If The 52 Week Complication Can Be Set Independently.

Cheers,

Enezdez
