    As a curious 11 year old boy I disassembled the AOPA Breitling Navitimer Cosmanaute My father received as payment from a wholesaler client and Gave to me as a Birthday gift. The value in 1967 was 150.00 USD. I chose it from a catalogue! It was never reassembled. I went to watch Repair school 43 years later and the 250 parts were long gone! That Dial does not look right to me! Thank you so much for bringing back the memories of that watch in the fullest possible manner! I am watching it several times as I approach my 70th Birthday!

    I got mine in 2001. Passed it on to my daughter a couple of years ago. Sent her this video so she could get an appreciation for all that is in it.

    Man. I can never get over how many parts there are in a watch. Still they almost never break. It’s just unbelievable.

    Breitling should re-do this watch with a case-back display, what a beautiful movement, matches the busyness of the dial.

    23:10 Grease is used in areas of high Pressure, not high friction.
    Main bearings in a jet turbine have a lot of friction, they use thin oil.
    Cams and levers in the keyless section of a wristwatch operate under high pressure, and use grease.

    Um relogio classico. Bonito ver este velho cosmonaute voltar a rodar macio no ritmo preciso. Um video riquissimo para amantes de contadores de tempo. Muito obrigado.

    J'ai réussi à trouver votre chaîne TH-cam. Je suis anglais et j'ai du mal avec le français. Je voulais exprimer mon appréciation pour le travail brillant que vous faites. Mon arrière-grand-père décédé était horloger pour Smiths à la fin des années 60. Il aurait été étonné de TH-cam et du travail que vous faites

    7:50 "with the hour indicator" ...
    hopping one day seagull will release a cheaper version of this movement with this complication (8:30) in the ST19xx series ...
    10:20 the click spring is different on the ST19xx ... as one of their failing parts🤣

    Great Video. Merci. Did you reduce the play in the mainspring arber, or center wheel? Or wasn't it needed? And does it make sense to put the watch on the TimeGrapher to check beaterror and amplitude before you assemble the chronograph parts?
    Beautiful timepiece and background history.

    • @FrenchWatchCollector
      @FrenchWatchCollector  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I did not reduce the play because it was not needed on this watch. Yes I put it on the timegrapher before but I don't always put it in the video

    That's the first one I've seen with the 24hr hour hand. I prefer the smaller size compared to the massive size of some of today's chronographs. Beautiful. The single hole strap is a nice touch also.

    Can you tell me how you open the chronograph watch bezel. Use what kind of tools to remove it. My Tissot seastar 1000 bezel wants turning

    • @FrenchWatchCollector
      @FrenchWatchCollector  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depending on the bezel. The cheapest way is to use a opening blade knife to lift the bezel

    Scott Carpenter's Navitimer does still exist, it is just totally corroded inside. There is some promo video from Breitling here on youtube that shows the watch. Just search for "Breitling | Navitimer Cosmonaute - Original Piece".

    you think this movement will be more difficult to service in a future regaridng parts availability?

    Ha ha 1st, rest after I watched the video.
    Really complicated, lovely watch and the build quality seems top notch, but it's not for me personally, I like a simple watch that you glance at and you can tell the time. Like the Rolex oyster perpetual date for example. You can just eare it and it's nothing fancy. But this one well I'd feel that I have to be careful with it all these extra bits and bops. I like that 24h display interesting.

      @@FrenchWatchCollector Yes, I can cut the sound, but some information on the watch that you give is really cool. What I do not like is the many repetitions that you seem unaware of. Again and again you tell us the same things. Since you do talk-over, maybe you just should listen to yourself and cut down on endless repetitions.
