Opinions will vary of course, and those will be based on factors ranging from imperial evidence of superiority to snobbery. However, with respect to the Navitimer, consider this: it has been a model in Breitling's range almost continuously since 1952 (or 1954) and was only fitted with an in-house movement in 2010. Of course, it wasn't the same movement in the preceding 58 (or 56) years, as that changed over time with the introduction of successive Navitimer models, but the point being that the good reputation of the Navitimer was built on a succession of externally sources movements, so you can come to your own conclusion about how important an in-house movement is for the Navitimer.
