Breitling Montbrillant Datora
One of my oldest watches that doesn’t get as much wrist time as it used to now that I’m not office based.
But, when it does get an outing I quickly remember why I fell in love with it. When the bronze dial catches the light it looks awsome and the detail on the cream sub-dials 😍 For me it is a work of art as much as a complex bit of mechanical engineering.
Yes, the dial is busy and it’s not the easiest to read and it’s a pain in the arse to set the triple date, but I can easily overlook all these negatives!
Have it paired up with an Ostrich strap from Dangerous9straps that I think compliments its dial’s colour scheme.

Beautiful watch, ive been eying a breitling for some time, but it also might not get as mich wristtime so im still holding back 😝
Too busy for me, but Breitling really knows how to do a busy dial well. I don’t know what it is, but their stuff always looks good no matter how many numbers are on the dial.
It's a stunner !
The Navitimer, probably in my top 3 grail watches. And the coolest thing with the Navitimer is that there's plenty of variations and they all look really good, specially in evil panda. Yes it's busy, but I don't mind when it's as beautiful as this. Congrats
Wow, Absolutely stunning. 💪❤😎
I have the silver dial version from 2002 and I do love it. Like you I don't wear it as much as I did when I first got it. You should try the bracelet, its like butter on the wrist. I have a selection of Breitling leather straps for mine but once I put the bracelet on it never came off.
Gorgeous 👌🏻
Yes! That ostrich strap is perfect for the dial.
Big 48mm Navitimer 1461, purchased when watches were robust in size, one of my personal favourites intend to wear it for a very long time.
Simply gorgeous. Timeless. ♥️
