Breitling Navitimer Premier


Recommended Posts

Hi all, help required to identify this Chronograph module, from a Breitling Navitimer Premier, A42035.

 

It sits on top of the ETA 2892A2 movement, which I have serviced and now need to do the module but there are no numbers on the unit.

The module bears no resemblance to the Dubois Depraz one on Marks Video.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

This is not much help Keith, but it at least confirms it as a Dubois Dépraz designed module.

Thanks Geo, I was hoping that it was the same as the one in the vid, attached to the 2892 mvt. No such luck. I shall continue the search, at least I now Know it's a dubois-depraz.

Looks like the one in this video : 

hope you like piano music ;)

 

I had already seen this, the module has an integral date wheel, whereas my one is on the top. I have already remove it to give a better photo. Thanks any way

AHH,  close but no cigar...... I believe the module I have is referred to as "Breitling 35" Dubois Depraz. But further than that I can't find any thing relating to service schedule. The 3220 is the one in Marks Video, he kindly sent me the service schedule for that, but on opening my watch it is a different module... I shall keep looking.

UPDATE

 

Decided to go in blind on the module and collate the notes from a service schedule ffrom a different Dubois Depraz one.

 

Well all worked out well and it is now back to it's former glory. A very nice watch that appears to have had a hard life, but that's the charm of it. What's the point of having it and leaving it in a drawer. It exudes character with it's tired and repaired face, only wish it was mine............ :(

 

The owner or it is over the moon and is looking forward to it's return. He has informed me that he has too many high end watches and gates around the problem by wearing two at a time.  Good idea............... or not?

Well done Kieth, I was sure you would do a good job. The owner will be well pleased to get that one back on his wrist where it should be, unless you persuade him to sell it to you. ;)

    • Hi, I have a Citizen Eco solar drive from 1995 and was also looking for a replacement battery. Although I also cannot fathom why the brass plate is so important, I thought it was for keeping the battery in place, I did find one and bought it on eBay. I am so curious whether I can get the watch to start working again after ± 20 years ;-)
    • An interesting chemistry experiment, mix everything together, it might produce toxic fumes, go bang or you might win a Nobel prize.  Hehe. 
    • Best disposal option where I live is either to flash it off (I pour it out in an oil drip pan, and it evaporates), which I don't like, or if I have a load, I'll take it to the chemical recycling facility. It costs a surprising amount of money to dispose of chemicals there (it's like the county WANTS people dumping stuff in the water), so I send out a text to the neighborhood (not many people up here) and see who has paint and stuff they need to get rid of. I tell them to come by whenever, and put labeled and sealed containers in my trailer, and that I'm going on whatever date. Last time, most people gave me a few bucks to defray the cost, and I ended up with a tank of gas for the trouble!
    • Seeing all these references to "the 4mm Horia clone" got me to start looking closely at details for listings to see they sell some with a 3mm spindle and some with a 4mm spindle, and far more with neither specified. Something I'll watch for when I finally buy one. I do remember a Chronoglide video explaining their 4mm modded Horia that could be used with Seitz pushers.
    • Are you using digital calipers to measure the staff? As far as I'm aware this is the full list of staffs and nothing seems to match yours.
