Congratulations with your new watch ! Its a model not often seen and even finding pictures will be a task Personally I have always liked the styling of that model but never owned one For the bracelet I would look on Ebay auction site , any 22mm model "Old-Navitimer" bracelet (5 or 7 row) will fit , the bracelet will have (If I remember correctly) "Old Navitimer" stamped on the end pieces but I will see if I can find a picture Good luck with you watch and I would like to see pics |

I think the end links are actually just stamped 'OLD NAVI", but yes that will fit. Not a terribly popular model when it came out and was only available for one year (1999). I suspect that it was too far removed from the typical Breitling look of the time, but personally I like it. |

Sweet watch, guys. That black strap really sets it off. I'd be inclined to get both the black strap and a bracelet, finances permitting. |

The Black strap really is nice , is that a dark blue face, The pilot bracelet will look real sharp with the Grand Premier. |

Interestingly, while "Automatic" and "Swiss Made" are in English, "Rubis" is in French. At least, that's what I want to believe. I'd hate to think they misspelled it.
