FS: Breitling chrono collectors Tropics and Breitling brochures

Collectors of Breitling Navitimer, Datora and Long-Playing vintage models get a free bonus when you buy an original 20mm or 22mm Tropic Sport band for your watch. I have a limited number of copies of an original 1970s Breitling vintage watch brochure that displays Navitimer models that include the Navitimer Cosmonaute, Chrono-Matic GMT and the Chronomat. The cover of the brochure is shown below displaying one of many Navitimers on the original 22mm size Tropic Sport band.

The brochure also features the Breitling Autotime (Breitling's rally master), plus the Breitling Long Playing, Chrono-Matic, Datora and several stop watch models.

Great opportunity to restore your vintage Breitling Navitimer by getting it back on an original black Tropic Sport 22mm New Old Stock band. Original band for many Breitling Navitimer models and a classic strap for many 22mm lug watches. Length measures 7 1/2 inches long (19cm), with the pieces placed end to end, not counting the buckle. Metric measurements are 115/75. Also takes the 16mm buckle size. Band is 4.7mm thick where it meets the watch and 2.5mm thick at the tail end. Nice pliable, soft rubber.

This band is shown in the brochure on the Breitling Navitimer GMT, Navitimer automatic Chrono-Matic model 1806-M, Navitimer manual 8806 model and Navitimer manual 7806. I also have the 20mm Tropic Sport band shown in the catalog on the manual-wind Datora, Chrono-matic and Long-Playing vintage Breitling chronographs.
