Breitling Appraisal

Breitling Navitimer Chronometer Wristwatch

The item is a Breitling Navitimer chronometer watch. It features a stainless steel case with a fluted bezel and is currently fitted with a black NATO style textile strap with steel hardware, including the buckle. The dial is a vibrant deep blue with silver-toned sub-dials and hands. The dial incorporates a complex slide rule scale around the outer edge, characteristic of the Navitimer model. The hands and hour markers appear luminescent. Visible on the dial are three sub-dials for the chronograph function (likely counting hours, minutes, and seconds) and a date window at the 4:30 position. Textual markings are visible on the dial, including the Breitling logo and "Breitling Navitimer Chronometer" below it, with the word "Chronometer" likely indicating COSC certification. The watch appears to be in good condition with no readily apparent major scratches or damage to the case or crystal from the provided image. The finish on the case and bezel seems consistent with polished stainless steel. The strap is a replacement and not the original Breitling strap, which impacts originality. The watch appears to be a relatively modern Navitimer, likely from the 2000s or later based on the dial design. The quality of craftsmanship is evident in the complexity of the dial and the finishing of the case.
