I just purchased a breitling navitimer montbrillant Serie Speciale 30m A30030.4.
Can anyone help with years for this 38mm?
I would like to know where I might find info or descriptions of this model, its historical pedigree and its value.
Thank you in advance.
That model was made between 1996 and 98, so quite a short run compared to many models. It runs the B30 movement which is basically an ETA 2892, which is generally a very smooth, reliable workhorse. The Montbrillant models always look even more vintage than the standard Navitimer, so that's either an appeal or a detractor depending on what you're looking for. Incidentally (and if I recall correctly from something I read some time back), the name Montbrillant derives from a road name near where Leon Breitling opened his first factory.
I don't go in for valuations as it's always quite subjective, so I usually suggest checking similar watches to yours on eBay (specifically the sold prices as opposed to the asking prices), and Chrono24. Either of those will give you a pretty good market value for it.
