Hey guys,

After a few weeks of research for a white/silver Navi, i finally got my hands on an amazing Navitimer Olympus (Thanks to forum user Chafeez who parted with on great pain :( ).

But for me, it's a happy night! 8)

The watch looks amazing. I think the 43mm size is a sweet spot for me. Its' on a Gold Calf for now, but i'm looking for a Brown Croc to put on it. Here are a few quick phone pictures of it. I'll post some more when i get a croc on.

Happy holidays :santa:

Amazing piece. For me, the Olympus is probably in the top 10 of all Breitlings. Never get tired of looking at this watch.

Congrats Hutt!

I love this watch but I wonder why with such a large number of these going to English speaking countries
they would not make a English version ? I would make this Breitling no # 6 if it was .

Beautiful. Just beautiful. It suits the gold calf really well actually. Merry Christmas! :lingsrock:

I'll get one of those one day. How much is the servicing costs on one of those bad boys?

And Italian, German and Romanche. There are four official languages in the country, theoretically all on the same level. 70% of the population speaks German (or Swiss German rather, which is a dialect) but Breitlings are made at the French part, which may explain the French version.

Surely someone must have seen an English version...if one exists.

Thanks for all the good comments!

It's the perfect watch for me because well, my main language is french! :D

Also reminds me of where it's made, Switzerland!

I'm not sure. Around 700$ i think.

It was serviced 2 years ago, so i have another 3 years if everything is fine.
