Hello all- I'm new to the board, hoping to find some help on a specific watch. This was given to me on my 18th birthday. It has some interesting numbers on the back. One is clearly the number in the series. "140/250" is easily seen, but there is also a "Nº 10" on the back as well. While the series of 140/250 is very obvious, i've been told by those in the know that often times there could be a sub-series within the production run, hence the "Nº 10". A few other things that have been pointed out to me, (may be common to those more familiar) are the abbreviations on the front being in French, as well as the blue face, which I'm told seems to be unique. In looking through the guides on this site, it seems close to the Navitimer 1952 QP, however that has a white face. This watch also shows "Navitimer 1461" on the back case. What I'd love to find out is if someone is familiar with what the subgroup was, and/or what does or doesn't make this watch different or special. I've enlarged the "10" and highlighted the series numbers as well. Apologies for the quality of the pics, happy to email better ones if needed. Thanks to all for looking! |

Limited edition D19022 that shows up every now and then, I think this is the fourth or fifth we've seen here. No agreement on what the other number means, pure speculation I'm afraid. They sell as regular 1461s, fractionally higher sometimes because of the gold bezel. Welcome to BreitlingSource. |
