    Three Breitling amigos.

    Just came home after finishing this trilogy. Very pleased. Now I have to build another one. Darn...

    Anyway, Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute A12023, Old Navitimer Mechanique A11022 and Navitimer automatic A232G09NP. Currently very happy and wanted to share them here.

    Cool, I've never seen the middle bracelet before....

    I love the Navitimer. I would personally take it over the Speedy which is everywhere nowadays ( I have both).

    My pick would be the middle one. Stunning.

    I have always preferred the Navitimer of the two. Have to say I particularly like the one on the right with the inverted dial with the brushed finish, Japanese market?

    Very nice trio, but maybe at least one of them should be on a leather strap?

    Nice to see some Breitling love here. I’m also taken by the '95 Navitimer.

    Would be the cosmonaute for me. A variation of the navitimer I would like to own at some point.

    Owning an 809 Cosmonaute, I'd have to go the other way and take the black dialed 12 hour Navitimer.

    I sometimes look wistfully at 806s

    I disdain broken lume on hands. So its hard to find a decent 806.

    The mechanique is great, not seen that variant before. Love the blued hands and the indices - prob the best choice for a leather strap.

    I tried my a23322 on leather for all of 3 seconds before running back to that awesome bracelet.

    Definitely missing something with a 24 hour dial. Do love an 806 though.
