Nicolas (amanico) offers WatchProSite readers an exclusive close-up look at the Breitling Navitimer 1959 Edition in platinum. His detailed photography and initial thoughts provide a valuable starting point for collectors considering this luxurious iteration of an iconic pilot's watch. This article explores the community's perspective on the platinum model's value proposition against its steel counterpart and other high-end timepieces.

But this one is a stunner! I wish they did more vintage re-editions of the navitimer...
But anyhow I am a fan of the Navitimer...
Sat for over a year at my local AD. They put it back in the safe and I picked it up over a year later 😊. Swapped out the strap - didn’t particularly like the black calf. I’m looking for the cosmonaute re-issue but not going to pay the current pre-owned premium. ADs are struggling to get any as far as I can tell.
I think the platinum version is great, but also would buy many other watches at that price point. 👍
And very nice on this strap. All the best Thomas
A faithful replica of the original - apart from the movement - a manual version of the B1
