Incoming new Navitimer Swiss Airlines
Just got this one recently coming back from a trip overseas and I think it’s pretty nice. A long time ago, when I first got into watches I wanted a Navitimer. My grandfather had a gold one and he still has it actually and wears it. Anyway I ended up getting an IWC pilots chronograph which is since long gone. Always liked the busy yet legible dial of the Navitimer but generally found most Breitlings until recently too large and too gaudy.
However the new 41 mm Navitimer line with the in house chronograph is quite handsome.

This watch I got sort of as an impulse but couldn’t pass up the opportunity because it can only be purchased on select long haul Swiss Airlines flights. It is the Swiss Airlines limited edition of 700, can only be purchased at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet and comes with a card signed by the captain which states the flight on which it was purchased and altitude. I also fell for the story as most of my watches have interesting stories associated with them.
Here are some pictures!

Yes I’m a sucker for a great story so I couldn’t pass it up. And aviation watch with an aviation story behind it from one of my trips.

That's very cool! I also went the IWC pilot chrono option few years back and finally added Navitimer in the last few months. You have good taste!

That’s really nice, I am pretty sure that I could not resist the temptation to buy one.

I also couldn't resist and figured I would probably not get the opportunity again.
