Breitling Navitimer Twin Sixty II A39022.1 Black Dial Automatic 1999 USED

This is the successor to the "NAVITIMER TWINSIXTY" introduced at Basel in 1997.
It is a rare model released in 1999 that was manufactured for only one year.
 

This chronograph features the world's first dual "60-minute" totalizers, which is the origin of the model's name.

The previous model's dial featured bar indices, but the "TWINSIXTY II" adopts Arabic numerals, improving legibility.
The 3 o'clock position features a small second hand, the 9 o'clock position a 24-hour display, and the 6 o'clock position a 12-hour totalizer.

The crown is approximately 6.6mm in diameter, making it easy to grip and operate.
 

This is a rare specimen that comes with a complete set of accessories.

We recommend this watch for those looking for a rare model or those seeking a Navitimer that is more compact than current models.

Function of the Chronograph Hands and Operation Example

The first totalizer (center) is a chrono hand that displays minutes and seconds.
The chrono seconds hand has a red tip, while the chrono minutes hand is silver to the tip.
The two hands are stacked vertically and appear as one until the chronograph is started.
 

The second totalizer (6 o'clock position) is a chrono hand that displays hours and minutes.
The chrono hours hand is short, and the chrono minutes hand is long.
The two hands are stacked vertically and appear as one until the chronograph is started.
Its greatest feature is the ability to read elapsed time in "hours and minutes," just as you would read the regular time.

In the example below, the elapsed time is read as "0 hours 52 minutes 37 seconds."
While this model features many numerical displays on the inner and outer scales of the dial,
you can smoothly determine the elapsed time by checking the second totalizer and the chronograph seconds hand.
