What Breitling model uses the Breitling yellow box?

Did a Navitimer ever come in a yellow box?

The yellow box you are referring to is the outter box in which the bakelite box was placed in. Breitling just updating their packaging from the yellow box to the one pictured with a propeller.

All models besides the Bentley models had the outter yellow box.

No .... I am referring to the inner and outer box....

I have bought a used inner and outer box set - AND BOTH ARE YELLOW!

Did the Navi ever come in this box combination?

I just want to know if this combo is correct for a navi?

Navi always came in the same boxes like the other Lings.
Looks like you bought a fake box. Post some pics and listen to what box experts will say.

It is genuine indeed, but pretty old. I don't know why Navi couldn't came in it.

This box is from around 1992 until 1996 when it changed to the maroon coloured box with cockpit outer box, before that the boxes were blue with a white outer sleeve. Used on all watches except ones with 18k cases. Steve

So that means that box could be correct for a Navitimer...?

THANKS!


I got the box from ebay.... paid about 30 Euro for it.

Kind regards,
