Good afternoon,
I have just now joined the forum and I am not sure how to go about posting a watch for I D purposes.
It is analog and digital. Face is blue stating Breitling Navitimer. The band is blue leather deployment.with an additional smaller watch on it. Numbers on the case rear of the watch are F50695, 20595 On the smaller watch (band) F61072, 2388.
The watch body is Titanium. I opened the back and the Quartz movement is Swiss

Thank you in advance,

Phil Clark

I'll move this to the replica section and if you post photos there we'll let you know if all is OK. Welcome to BreitlingSource.

100% real, an early 1990s Aerospace model with UTC module. Breitling confusingly (and erroneously in my opinion) labelled these early versions as "Navitimers". I thought they stopped using the Navitimer mis-labelling circa 1985-86. However this one has the modern (post 1990) letter prefix ref number, so Breitling must have still been using the Navitimer name on this model later than I thought.

Thank you. I replaced the battery and it would not fire up. Also when I pull out the crown the hour and date hands do not move. I assume they're issues that I have to deal with. Any suggestions??

Provided the new battery is okay, it sounds like the module is dead. The hands are moved electronically and are not mechanically attached to crown hence they are not moving.

It might be possible for Breitling to replace the movement or for you to source a spare/donor movement from another watch. The movement is a stock unit, an ETA 988.332 calibre, and was used by a few other watch brands. I think this one is completely generic aside from the Breitling branding stuck on it. As a ballpark, the watch might be worth about $1500+ on a good day so still might be worth repairing.

You would need to find a donor movement, Breitling consider it obsolete and will not support it. If you wish to sell it you need to start a thread in the sales section noting the rules of that section for sales.
