| Post subject: | Navitimer 50th |
I was fortunate to find one in lnib condition so I pulled the trigger. I was dead set on a satin finish navi and I must say I am extremely pleased. I understand it is not technically a LE, and I was wondering if anyone knows how many of these were produced and if they are considered rare? I also couldn't find much on the cal 41 movement. Is it just the 23 with the addition of a quickset date? Thx. Pics

It was a one year issue for the 48th (!) anniversary of the Navitimer in 2002. Pure speculation on the numbers, a couple of thousand or so I would guess. 41 and 23 are quite different, 23 is an integrated chronograph based on the Valjoux 7753, 41 is modular based on the ETA 2892-A2 base with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module. |

Roff, Thanks for the good info. I'll have to look into this whole 48th conspiracy. Lol |

Congrats. I've been looking for a brushed Navi too. Yours is a beauty. |

Just checked the manufacture date under the lug and it says 0203b4. I think that means it's technically a 51st (or 49th Roff!) anniversary. |

Resurrecting a zombie thread. Are all 50th using the 41 movement? Is this an in house movement? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I saw that the 50th does, indeed, use a 41. The 41 is a modded ETA movement. Since the base is an ETA movement, would it be considered an "in house movement"? I presume not, but I am not well versed in movements so I ask the veterans on this board. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
