Breitling Navitimer World A2432212/B726

The case measures 46mm across and 15.6mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, Breitling Caliber 24 (base ETA/Valjoux 7754), COSC chronometer. Power reserve is 42 hours.

It is rated to 30 meters, about 98 feet. That covers rain and hand washing. It is not rated for swimming. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Breitling produced this reference from 2005 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

Position 1 = case material (A = steel bezel/case); positions 2-3 = caliber (24; the absence of a leading 'B' means it is NOT an in-house Breitling manufacture caliber); position 4 = COSC (3 = COSC-certified chronometer); positions 5-6 = model type (22); positions 7-8 = bezel/case finish (12 = polished); position 9 = dial color (B = black/anthracite family); positions 10-12 = dial design (726). Breitling does not publish this scheme. It is compiled from collector documentation and reads as a reliable guide rather than a manufacturer specification.. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.
