Strange looking Nav dating to 1970. Looks to me as if someone has installed a Wakmann movement in it but rather unusual with the early style bridge. Sweep second hand reminds me of some I have seen on LIP watches. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1970-CHRONOGRAPH-BREITLING-NAVITIMER-FRANCE-CO-BRANDED-WATCH-/181265185983?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2a343f3cbf |

Why co-branded? Caliber taken of from a Wakmann chrono recased in a Navi . Sweephand from a Lip Nautic Ski or somethink like that . Lip in Besançon - France was acting as a " global player" 1/ manufacturing their own watches - including some chronos with V178 inside - 2/ assemblying some Breitling watches ( Navi, Cosmo, Avi , 815 ) with co- branded dials for the french market 3/ manufacturing watches for Wakmann under Gigandet and Wakmann brands 4/ distrubuting several high end swiss brands on the french market 5/ distributing horological supplies on the french market |
