We're squeaking this one in as the hump day post of our sub $1500 week because where it stands right now, it it is indeed under $1500, although it will likely sell for more. Ok, remember that NOS replica breitling Superocean Chronograph II Cosmonaute we found a few weeks back, the rare one with the Valjoux 7736 movement? A lot of our gang had interest in that watch, but the 24-hour dial of the Cosmonaute put off more than a few prospective buyers. So we've tracked down another late 60's Breitling, this time a Navitimer, which means its on a 12 hour scale like normal, and it even features the rare Valjoux 7736 movement instead of the Venus you typically find in these watches. What also makes this special is that the sub-dials of this Navitimer are black, just like the very first iteration of the model years before. It is commonly held that no black on black Navitimers were produced this late, but just like with vintage replica breitling Bentley 6.75 anything's possible. So this is already a great watch, but we haven't even gotten to the really good part yet, the part that makes us WANT this thing. This Navitimer was issued to the Iraqi Air Force, and features their insignia on the case back. Saddam Hussein called him pilots "The Flying Eagles" and that is exactly what you'll find on this Breitling. Talk about interesting provenance! We also know that Saddam was a man who loved his timepieces. He owned a solid gold http://www.speedroc.com/replica-breitling-montbrillant-01.html Day-Date covered in diamonds and he even had Eterna build him a watch with his own mug right on the dial. This Breitling is easily the coolest of all the Saddam pieces we've found, and if it stays anywhere near the current bid of $1150, it'll be a bargain. This Iraqi Air Force Issued Breitling Navitimer with rare black registers is on eBay in the United Kingdom, click here for details. *Editors Note: We have to admit there is something slightly off about the looks of this Navitimer. It may be the black registers, which we thought shouldn't exist this late into production, but we strongly advise any potential bidders to do their homework and ask plenty of questions on this one.
