I was fortunate to find one in lnib condition so I pulled the trigger. I was dead set on a satin finish navi and I must say I am extremely pleased.

I understand it is not technically a LE, and I was wondering if anyone knows how many of these were produced and if they are considered rare? I also couldn't find much on the cal 41 movement. Is it just the 23 with the addition of a quickset date? Thx.

It was a one year issue for the 48th (!) anniversary of the Navitimer in 2002. Pure speculation on the numbers, a couple of thousand or so I would guess. 41 and 23 are quite different, 23 is an integrated chronograph based on the Valjoux 7753, 41 is modular based on the ETA 2892-A2 base with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module.

Roff, Thanks for the good info. I'll have to look into this whole 48th conspiracy. Lol

Just checked the manufacture date under the lug and it says 0203b4. I think that means it's technically a 51st (or 49th Roff!) anniversary.

Breitling 'year' ran (at that time) from Basel to Basel so would still be considered a 2002 model.

Resurrecting a zombie thread.

Are all 50th using the 41 movement? Is this an in house movement?

Thanks.

I saw that the 50th does, indeed, use a 41. The 41 is a modded ETA movement.

Since the base is an ETA movement, would it be considered an "in house movement"?

I presume not, but I am not well versed in movements so I ask the veterans on this board.

Thank you.
