This vintage Navitimer from 1967 was one of the very last to feature the smaller sub-dials before Breitling switched over to the larger, bolder 9mm counters in 1968. The glossy black dial has aged beautifully with the lume fading to the characteristic 'almost black' tone we love. The solid steel case has remained in superb condition with nice thick lugs and clearly visible chamfers and the Venus calibre 178 is serviced. A wonderful example of one of the worlds most important pilots watches.
