Horological Meandering

3 iconic Tools!

Here's a joint photoshoot of 3 iconic air, sea and space tool watches of our times from my collection

1955 Valjoux 72 1st Gen pre 806 AOPA Navitimer
1973-74 1680 Red 2003 Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase (Newmoon moonphase display) , this ones not exactly the 69 one because of the added Moonphase but I like it that the moonphase is a reminder of the Speedmasters moon landing and standsout on the monochrome colour scheme of the Speedmaster!

Enjoy

Congrats to your 3 timepieces! I never owned a Breitling, but I once had the Speedy moonphase which I liked, but which I sold to fund a home buy. Also it was a bit too large for my slim wrist. Enjoy wearing them, anaesdoc

Thanks anaesdoc!

yet a thread runs through these watches. Nice trio. Although for me the beautifully patinated Navi is just gorgeous.

Thanks Ubik,

surrely great tools of their time. Agree on the Navi, the custardy patina reproducible only by the passage of time and the right mix of environmental elements got me attracted to it!
