Hi guys,

Bit of additional info - according Breitling the Netherlands, the Stratus Gray will be available starting somewhere in December.

I think they over do it with the number of Navitimer LEs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my count they made the original black dial LE, the white dial LE, and the "blue sky". Recently they had the bronze "pan-american", the blue subs & slide rule on the black dial "blue edition", and the Tourneau exclusive black subs on the white dial. Beyond that, I'm pretty sure they re-released a version of the blue sky with arabic indices and at some point there were limited Navitimers with a bi-compax layout.

Anyone else think enough is enough? This reminds me of what I hear about Hublot special editions: there are so many special editions that none of them are special.

I don't think they've gone too far with the limited editions. I don't think the shade of blue is the same on the new Navitimer as it was on the blue sky. I wouldn't even count the Tourneau edition since there are only 50 of them.

Odd that there's no info about it on Breitling's website. And, I think the original link on Ace Jeweler's website has been removed. No other info on the web yet.

Looks like they're trying to keep it under wraps for now?

A "dealer" has one listed on eBay for sale, however it appears that they are using stock photos in the listing and not actual photos of the individual watch.

Wow that's gorgeous. Only thing that would hold me back is the size. I tend to prefer a larger watch, to suit my *ahem* larger size.

I agree with the consensus. I like it; I think it's a nice twist to a classic. The grey dial and black subdials contrasting with white numbers etc. works really well for me. Looking forward to seeing it in person. Nice find Fred!
