On the right, one of the 200 Old Navitimers.
This particular one I bought from Squaron Leader Adrian Thurley(Ret'd) who was Red 1 , Team Leader, from 1991 until '93 Ironically this watch was #93 of the 200.

Has anyone seen this watch before? I have been doing a bit of research and as far as I can find out this watch is one of only twelve made. I am looking to buy myself my first Breitling but expect this one to be out of my price bracket by the time it ends. |

LOL There are six of them on Ebay UK at the moment. Pretty sure they made way more than twelve. The Breitling source list says of 1900 made. |

There are always a bunch of these for sale, the Navitimer is less common (but still more than 12). |

So i understand 1965 Chronomats were made referencing that year and the Reds, they are not rare or particularly desirable in the red arrows lim eds, the chronomat evolution had a limited series of 40 red arrows watches, these were IMHO were much nicer. Yer pays yer money, but this is not a rare watch in reality. |

As Roff says, there were 200 navitimer red arrows watches too, these seem to be more collectable. Red arrows editions came in the colt, aerospace, emergency etc... etc... |

If that is an LE of 12 then it is identical to the regular Chronomat run of almost 2,000. Andrew Michaels is a sponsor, and ricardo is a member who works there, why not ask? |
