Description • Dimensions / Measurements • Operating Instructions
 
Notice: This is the 44-mm Unitas Handwind version, we will only have a limited number available due to the current Swiss Movement Shortage. The hands on the Nav-B watch are blued on the edges.

The Nav-B watch, the much desired stainless steel pilot's watch, now in the rare 44-mm, on a brown calf leather strap with 2 rivets, is the classic pilot's watch designed back in the early days of aviation when 'precision' wasn't just a catch-phrase but a coin-toss on fate.

The watch comes with either an Unitas 6497 Hand-wind movement (this version) or an ETA Automatic movement. The Hand-Wind version uses the famous nickel plated Unitas 6497 which is enhanced with beautiful blue screws and a special "Cote de Geneve" engraving, form and function blend perfectly.

This timepiece makes an absolute statement of confidence and style, now in the much desired and requested 44-mm size. The beautiful sounds of the Swiss Jura Alps tick crisp and clear from the midst of this watch.

Legendary Air Force F-14 Tomcat Pilot Captain Dale "Snort" Snodgrass (Top Gun and the inspiration to the Tom Cruise movie) wears the Nav-B Classic watch.

"I wear my Nav-B every day. It's distinctive, keeps great time and I love it's historic simplicity. More than once this spring, I've had line crew and spectators comment on my watch as I climb down out of a P-51 or P-40 [airplane] after an air show performance." - Captain Dale "Snort" Snodgrass

Marketing August 4, 2008
Reviewer: Peter Myrtle from Mandeville, LA United States  
I have only one thing to say about this watch and that is it's pricing point. It is like a bottle of wine. Yes, we all love (or used to in my case) some lower end Chardonnays, but the real classics were and still are from Burgundy and they fetch a princely sum - understatement of the year. If Debaufre had the resources to extensively market their product, they would sell three time as many watches for three times the current price. The hands of this piece come from the same supplier as Glashutte and with the blue trim are identical to the GO Nav series etc. The movement, as we all know, is a dying breed, since Mr. Swatch himself plans on total market domination by bringing solely in-house Unitas, ETA & Valjoux. What else is there to say - buy as many of these watches as one can, before Debaufre run out of the movement, as soon as the Swiss & Germans get to work at the end of this month!
