Not sure if I even have the name right. But what are the chances of me finding this watch, new or used....
Navitimer (not the montbrillant)
subdials at 6,9,12
Moonphase at 3
all white (subdials, bezel, dial)
I haven't been to an AD yet, but online searches yield few results. But of the few pictures I've seen, I am positive I want this to be my first Breitling.

Try googling Navitimer Olympus and you may be able to snag one grey market. You can also start calling every AD in the country and asking if they still have one in stock. Not likely but possible. They were discontinued late 2004. Good luck with your search and to give you a little more incentive.... ;-)

^ That's what I feared. :-(
At any rate, thanks for the shedding some light on the situation.

other than the hour markers, hands, wings vs bretiling wording, gold vs silver on the moon phase whats the difference? i assume they are the same caliber and case size?

My dealer has an Olympus in his showcase, I believe it is on a strap.
PM me if you want his number.
I might be tempted to part with my Astromat

Navitimer Olympus. They also have a Navitimer Olympus 1461 version with the week-number complication in place of the moon phase.
I got soooo lucky. I *just* received a brand new Navitimer Olympus delivered today from Ace Jewelers in Holland (I'm in the USA). Ordered it couple days ago. It's exactly the same like in the post from O2AFAC67. It is *BRAND NEW*, never worn, original warranty stamped by Ace just 2 days ago. I've seen a few of these on eBay and some other questionable places, so to actually find a brand new model with all paperwork, for a discontinued watch - I feel very lucky indeed.
I barely opened the box 10 minutes ago. I have to go now. I think I need a tissue... or two... :-) :-d
PS: Does anyone know what steel bracelet model # goes with this watch? I'd love to swap it every now with the croco strap that it came with.

Enjoy it in good health! The bracelet model number for that watch is 425A. You can google it, go to authenticwatches dot com or call your local AD and ask if he can locate one for you. :-)

I saw a member by the name of gooter selling his on the For-Sale section. Good luck with the find.
