Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaut 81600

Description: Some years after relaunching the Breitling brand, Ernest Schneider brings back the design of the original Navitimer Cosmonaute with the Cosmonaute 81600 (later examples carry the new reference number A12019, A12020, A12022), powered by a hand-wound movement based on the Lemania cal. 1873. Cases are slightly bigger than previous "classic case" models, but the general design of the tapered lugs case and the contrasting 3/6/9 subdials layout are revived; caseback is "snap on." The Cosmonaute ref. 81600 has hour and minute counters and "running seconds" at 9 in a layout similar to the early Navitimer, with no date display. Red accents feature on both dial and slide rule, and the slide rule is now "sloped," similar to the Big Case models. The ref. 81600 is the first Cosmonaute to carry the "Breitling Wings & Anchor" logo. Caliber: manual wind Breitling cal. 12, based on Lemania cal. 1873 Case: tapered lugs, 40.2mm diameter Bezel: serrated pointed notch bezel, ca. 41.5mm diameter Dial: 24h, black with silverwhite subdials, red accents on dial and slide rule This example is in excellent condition and comes complete with the original box and papers. Desirable 18ct gold bezel and stainless steel case. Please note the original guarantee is dated 1986 but does not note the serial number of the watch. I'm not sure if the leather strap is original but it does have the original Breitling buckle. Note that the is well worn but in good condition.
