[WTS] Vintage Breitling Navitimer Airborne A33030 Automatic Chronograph.
[WTS] Vintage Breitling Navitimer Airborne A33030 Automatic Chronograph.
Hey, WatchEx. This Breitling Navitimer Airborne was made breifly in the mid-late 90's. The dial was originally navy blue, but over time, and with exposure to UV light, the blue has almost completely faded away to reveal the golden/brass sunburst, beneath. I like this dial the most with the four sub-dials, because it feels symmetric & balanced. I'm also a fan of the date complication being a sub-dial, rather than a window to a date wheel. In fact, the B33 movement is an ETA 2892-A2 with a modified date complication. The ETA originally has a date wheel, but Breitling converted it to the sub-dail at 12 o'clock. I've only owned it for a few years, and it has been one of my favorite watches. It came to me with unknown service history. On the wrist, the watch functions perfectly, but on a calibrated Witschi Chronoscope, it definietly looks like the movement could use a cleaning (see images for results). I thought about this a lot before listing it for sale. I didn't want to send it to Breitling for service, because I didn't want them to replace the dial or the crystal, or polish the case. If I kept this watch I would send it somewhere that I could control those aspects of the service. I, personally, would only have the movement cleaned, but the next owner may disagree. And for that reason, I chose to sell this watch as it is, allowing the buyer to have full say in that decision. This watch comes on the original 422A bracelet, the inner and outer boxes, papers, hang tag, an original deployant clasp, and an original buckle, as well as the BluShark strap pictured. Anyone familiar with these yellow Breitling boxes will already know that they deteriorate. It's difficult to find one in even "ok" condition. This one is actually pretty decent. The anti-reflective coating on the crystal shows the typical aging for these old Navitimers. There are no notable gouges or scratches in the case or bracelet. The bracelet is currently sized for my 7.25 inch wrist (and I wear my watches loose). The lume will glow if charged in a very bright light, but it fades rapidly. This might be the cheapest one of these you can find right now, for its condition, everything that's included, and this amount of info/detail available from the seller. Please leave a comment here, first, before sending a chat request. If you want an impromptu time stamp photo, I'll happily provide one. I am not a business or flipper. The watches I'm selling are my own that I no longer wear or need in my collection. As such, I guess I have to state the obligatory "as-is sale listing" language. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Not looking for any trades at this time. $3,000.00 USD (net to me) plus actual shipping costs within the contiguous United States and Canada.
