This is why I love Breitling. My father... Who also got me into Porsche by osmosis....
He has a 64 Navitimer and I have always just loved it. Since really seeing that watch, well BAM! That was it.
Now, a for using it... he did use it as the tool it was meant to be while flying two tours of duty in Vietnam as Huey pilot. (Bronze stars, Air medals, and DFC) He had to replace the leather band a few times due to deterioration from sweat and humidity. It has since been back to Breitling for service and new strap and runs like a champ.
