70 years Navitimer! Discover the redesigned collection! To create the new Navitimer, Breitling preserved the most recognizable aspects of the icon’s design code. From a distance, this is unmistakably a Navitimer, with its circular slide rule, baton indexes, trio of chronograph counters, and notched bezel for easy grip. Up close, however, its modern refinements come through loud and clear.
A flattened slide rule and a domed crystal create the illusion of a more compact profile. Alternating polished and brushed finishes give the metal elements a lustrous yet understated quality.
A slimmer silhouette on the oscillating weight enhances the open-caseback view of the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. This column-wheel chronograph calibre with a vertical clutch is backed by a five-year warranty, provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve, and allows the wearer to change the date - now visible through a discreet window in the subdial at 6 o’clock - at any time.
The watch comes in a range of sizes (46, 43, or 41 mm), two case materials (stainless steel or 18-carat red gold), and a choice of straps (semi-shiny alligator or seven-row metal bracelet). Modern colors in shades of blue, green, and copper define its updated dial options. And if there is one feature sure to spark nostalgia, it’s the return of the AOPA wings to their original position at 12 o’clock.
Breitling Navitimer 1952 - 2022
Not even its inventor could have predicted the phenomenon the Navitimer would become. In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a wrist-worn chronograph with a circular slide rule that would allow pilots to perform all necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the largest aviators’ club in the world, announced the design as its official timepiece. The association’s winged logo was emblazoned at 12 o’clock, and the “navigation timer” - or Navitimer - was born.
The Navitimer grew up alongside the burgeoning civil aviation industry. Beloved by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts, it even made its way into space on the wrist of astronaut Scott Carpenter in 1962 as a 24-hour timepiece to tell day from night. And it wasn’t only pilots drawn to the watch’s irrepressible aesthetic. Celebrities of the day, such as Miles Davis, Serge Gainsbourg, Jim Clark, and Graham Hill, were devotees, proving that the Navitimer had style as well as function.

I am so excited that the smallest size now has the B01! If only they came with the black dial, though the blue is prettier...Keep up the good work Alexander!
Thanks for sharing our passion!
So I’ve given these a look and here’s my thoughts. They wear smaller than their advertised sizing. Due to the short curved downward pointing lugs even I can pull off the 46mm. The 43 is more my size however and the sizing is just right, as mentioned in your video. I welcome the return of the wings and like the stripped down minimalist take on these watches. Still 100% tool but just honed now to perfection, or near in any case. On the strap they wear very nicely on wrist and everything is just so. The B01 movement is a joy to wind and looks great through the caseback. The operation is very crisp and positive with no judder. The brushing of the case side and polished elsewhere looks nice in my view. My favourite so far is the 43 Copper dial. Guys you have to experience this in real life to see the understated effect and warmth of that dial. All is harmonious in the design and it just looks like it’s hitting way above it’s weight. And good news. In my home city they are building a new Breitling boutique so it’s all pointing me in the direction of adding this amazing piece to my modest collection. Just got to test drive the other colour combos first, but that copper is going to be a hard act to follow. State or the art chrono and state of the art design. Plus the 5 year manufacturer warranty. Win win.
Go Breitling! ;)
Wonderful! Love your comment! Thanks for sharing! Direct and unbiased feedback from the final consumer is the best ...
I've been a Pilot for 24 years an owner of a Navitimer 01 43mm Panamerican Bronze Limited Edition since 2018, this is my thoughts regarding the new models, based only on this video.
Of course, this is all my personal opinion !
What I really like:
- At last and again a Logo to make justice to the brand !
- Bracelet brushed links (although they kept polished center links, IMO the new combination looks nicer than my all polished bracelet)
- Brushed case (but not as much as liked the brushed bracelet... If they kept a polished case, I wouldn't mind as well)
What I don't care:
- Date at 6 o'clock position rather than between 4 and 5 (Maybe I'm alone on this one)
- Some of the new colors are of very subjective taste but it's hard to judge it from a video. Also, some colors come only for specific sizes although this was also an "issue" with the previous models. My favorite colors are the Black and white subdials (at least, standard for all sizes) and the Blue and white subdials, unfortunately, exclusive only for 46mm models.
What I absolutely don't like:
- Flat Slide Rule (even though in reality we have no use for it, I prefer by far the looks of the previous curved one).
- Removal of the Anchor from the chronograph hand base.
- New bracelet clasp (looks somewhat feminine IMO when compared to the old ones, particularly with the big "B"on it). I have to give the credit that the new butterfly mechanism is more practical though.
Just bought the 46 mm in blue yesterday with the bracelet, but I understand the actual size maybe in the low to mid 45. I have a small wrist, a couple of mm less than 17 cm. I'm really liking bigger watches nowadays (larger than 42 mm) for some reason. Going into the shop I had every intention of buying the 43 mm, but after about 20 minutes of going back and forth (wife was there to help), "we" decided that 46 is the size for me, and I'm loving it today even more than yesterday.
You did the right thing!!! Buy emotional and not rational… let your heart decide… it won’t lie… Bravo! May your Navitimer always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
@@WatchAdvisor Thanks Alexander! I'm starting to collect watches. What do you recommend in this price range for me consider...thanks! I really trust your taste and knowledge... (apologize if this is off topic)....
Yeah me too, I bought the green dial yesterday, I know what he means about the green, to get the best green you often get the most reflection but it is outstandingly beautiful, what a machine.
It looks bloody expensive, probably cos it is :-)
43mm in the classic black dial/silver subdials on the bracelet and I would add the lovely cognac brown leather strap with that amazing deployant clasp! Can't wait for the historical models video, great presentation!
Alexander you 🤘, always the first guy in the watch community to show us in real ( not just pictures) the new releases. Thank you
You are very welcome 🙏🏻
Another amazing release from Breitling. They're on a roll for the last few years now. Incredible.
I very much like what they do today… much more appealing IMHO…
Just got the 41mm mint green from the boutique, cant take my eyes off it!
Bravo! Well done! Congratulations! May your Navitimer always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
I saw this exact watch at the boutique the other day and was mesmerized by it. They really nailed it on that one. Did you get the steel bracelet or the leather strap? I saw it on the steel bracelet and loved it.
@@mikemush9741 leather one. The green mint and gold markers seems to make the dial look smiley!
The real one.
I know the popularity of a Speedmaster and Daytona. For me only the Navitimer is the chronograph of choice.
I LOVE the 43mm Ice Blue and Mint Green.. so drawn to those colors. Black and White it's nice but too serious.
GREAT WORK Alexander!!
Thanks for your kind feedback!
Superb Collections, 43 mm will be perfect, cooper , pistachio or ice blue, the watch is completly new, new glass, new rotor, new bracelet, even polish and satin is clever for scratches now. great great great
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
Correct. They look cool and vintage on strap or bracelet. Only downside is no micro adjustment which is a pain. But these are clean and fresh. I can see myself sporting one in a vintage car wearing leather sports gloves, a cape and hat - maybe a silver topped sword cane.
Alexander, the water resistance restriction has nothing to do with the push pieces or the crown; it relates to the seals around the internal rotating bezel. This is something that is well documented. It is not, and has never been, intended to be a sports watch.
Danke für Ihre Arbeit!
Sehr gutes Video und sehr gut beschrieben. Top!!
Nach 35 Jahren endlich die Navitimer gefunden, die für mich passt!! Ohne übermässiges Rehaut, sondern schön abgeflacht.
Absolut happy - da macht A kind of Blue grad doppelt Spass. Ich habe die schwarz/weisse. Herzliche Grüsse aus St. Gallen/CH
Danke für Dein Feedback! Möge Dir Dein Navitimer stets glückliche Sekunden, Minuten und Stunden anzeigen!
Quite like the green dial.
Yep, bought one yesterday, it's a sort of two-tone black/green which catches you out, it's like each time you look at it its different
It looks really classy and very expensive
I own a 46mm Navitimer with green face and stainless steel strap. For me the size, colour and style are perfect, it’s a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
Thanks for sharing our passion! Congratulation! May your Breitling continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours...
That watch is awesomeeeeeee
I’ve just tried on the 46mm green Navitimer at my local Breitling boutique and WOW!!! that dial is stunning
Breitling is becoming my preferred timepiece over the Rolex. Just different! I like that Navitimer w/black leather strap. Sweet!
You should always buy what you like! Buy emotional, let your heart decide...
@@WatchAdvisor I always buy what I like not out of emotions. Now, I'm liking Brietling so I buy it. 😎
The pistachio coloured dial is stunning. It really pops.
Have you ever seen it in real?
the most iconic aviation watch, great review the 43 is perfect, the side calculator can be useful for simple mathematical computation, and some conversion like meter to feet or density. 43 mm black with leather strap, or maybe the gold also with leather strap are perfect.
Thanks for sharing our passion!
The domed crystal and new rotor look fantastic. So excited for this new release...
The lume shot is awesome.... perfect.
Thank you for this well crafted video. Subscribed !
Welcome to Watchadvisor! Thanks for sharing our passion!
Thanks for the great review. I love the New breitling navitimer, and my favorit is the ice blue 43 mm.
I already saw it at my local breitling shop and i will soon purchase 1.
This review is the best i have seen online, and gives u a good impression of the new collection.
Thanks for sharing and your kind feedback! Keep us posted please...
I have the 46mm green dial with rose gold and black strap....my favorite watch so far, beautiful finish and very eye catching. The question is, is it too big? IMO the white and two panda faces are too big in 46 but the all green dial looks smaller and more balanced, more classy, then the gold gives it a huge lift. Its a watch designed to make a statement so err to the large size and wear it with confidence.
My father lived using his slide rule on his watch. One of those funny memories of him I have. I now have the watch and use it too
We should do a video with you 😉
@@WatchAdvisor Wow what an honor to even be mentioned! Love your content!
Great watches!! I love the pistachio color.
I am also very exited to watch the video on the history and models of the Navitimer
We are working on that one soon...
Safe and disciplined refresh - sometimes you don’t need something ground breaking to keep moving the brand forward. I think they need to trim the catalog, and I personally will wait for the inevitable 70th LE which I have high hopes for 👍
Haha 😆 I hear you…
I like the 43mm size the best, But the 41 in mint green with those white dials and and gold looks way better IMO, and that’s what I went for :) picking up mine in 2 weeks. Can’t wait
Congratulations! Bravo! You did what everybody should do when buying a watch: Be emotional and NEVER rational... Keep us posted please!
41mm with the blue dial and black sub dials with Navitimer Bracelet, BEAUTIFUL!!
For me I would go with the 46mm because of my large wrist size! This watch has always been my favorite and I have owned many clones by Seiko but not the real thing. It's on my bucket list! ⌚ Thanks for video.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us! Keep us posted please…
@@WatchAdvisor Will do! Thank you
Very nice style from Breitling...they are doing a gr8 job as are you! Thank you for sharing! 43mm with the Lt Green dial on bracelet would be my choice.
41mm is the first Breitling I'd consider buying.
i like that 43mm with a lug-to-lug of 48, like a perfect size profile
Yep spot on dimensions for me I’m a 42 by 22 size for a perfect fit. I can nudge up a mm but not down.
The Navitimer is supposed to be a big watch but the 43mm would be the sweet spot for the majority of wrists.
43 mm is good size indeed!
The wings are back! Very nice
I can’t wait for the history video on the Navitimer Alexander!
Absolutely love these new releases, for me the 41mm is perfect.
B01, 41mm, even 22mm lug width, cleaner dial, beautiful finishing.
Love the Navi in its many iterations
The emerald green dial is 🔥 🔥
Thanks for sharing!
The 41 is actually 40.2 which is phenomenal! Glad the wings are back! That clasp is phenomenal on the bracelet! Superb job!
Thanks for sharing our passion!
These are perfectly nice and surely will sell incredibly well.
I think so too… especially the 43 mm version
GOD BLESS YOU ALEXANDER. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
Thank you Peter
@@WatchAdvisor YOU ARE VERY WELCOME. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A MIRACLE AND SUCH A PROFOUND BLESSING! I ABSOLUTELY FEEL LIKE CRYING WITH COMPLETE GRATITUDE AND HAPPINESS! 🙏🎅🎄🎁🙏
Navitimer world was the best looking model !!
Which one would you choose?
First I would like to say Hello to everyone. I do not know how many of you actually have the Beautiful Navitimer, in any case size. I am unfortunately, just a dreamer, just a regular guy who will have to wait and save up for one of those Baby's. However, I can appreciate exactly what an exceptional time piece/ work of art the Navitimer is, as are all Breitlings. The new light and darker green dials are unbelievable!!! I am in love! I feel you should have more than one Breitling. So as to keep the green dial one I would wear on special occasions. If I could, I would have my everyday Navitimer with a blue dial, gold bezel and some gold hands or markers. Hey if you're going to dream, may as well dream BIG!!!
I was just wondering? In this presentation has anyone else noticed that the narrator may be incorrect? He said that the 2 on the left were the 43 mm dials but what I am seeing is that in the first row the 2 watches on the ends are the 43 mm's and the 2 center ones are the 41's?
I guess with the 46 mm watches in the back.
Love em all, maybe one day I'll have one. Well here's wishing everyone All The Best!!! Happy Memorial Day!!! Remember, if you remember only one thing about today, while enjoying all the freedoms we have?? It came at a very high cost because freedom isn't FREE!!! God Bless you and the United States of America and the lands and people of Ukraine.
Hi, I am Alexander the "narrator"... Thanks for sharing your passion with us! Can you specify where I may have said something wrong?
Am i the Only one that thinks the 46MM is the size to buy in the Navitimer Line? i bought a 43mm and was dissapointed. Replaced it with a 46mm and was super happy.
Well if you love huge watches wear them... There is no reason to follow any rules and listen to what others have to say... It is YOUR choice!May your Navitimer always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
happy purchase!
I tried the 41 and 43mm today, on paper the 41mm suits my small-ish wrist better but because of the rather busy dial and the slide rule the bigger 43mm definitely looks better and more balanced. Will try the 46mm next time
Agree … the 46mm suits this line very well. 👍🏻
I tried on the 46mm. I have a 21cm wrist. It looks perfect on me.
Nice to see the 41mm now has the B01. The copper is the pick of the bunch for me. Agree that the 46mm proportions are off because of the movement size.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
Yep copper at 43 catches my eye it looks premium and cool. Nice to have something a little different.
Thanks for the video. Am considering to get a Navitimer but there is one model that kinds of get my attention which is the Navitimer Chronograph GMT 46mm black dial bracelet. It is with the Breitling 24 calibre. It has GMT as well as world time on top of the standard chronometer. I am wondering if this is the better Navitimer to get rather than the B01 version. Thoughts?
If you are going to use the GMT/UTC-function that's for sure the better choice...
@@WatchAdvisor thanks. What if you don’t need the GMT/UTC function? Would it be better to pay more for B01 movement than the 24 calibre?
Brietling is really putting out some very nice pieces.
Which size would you wear?
@@WatchAdvisor I like the 43mm personally.
love the pistachio color..wow
I was never drawn to the Navitimer before, but I am intrigued by both the ice blue and the copper.
That would seem to point to the 43mm version, but I am surprised it is such a relatively short lug-to-lug. My entire collection falls between 50mm and 54mm with diameters ranging from 42mm to 47mm. I guess it is worth the trip to the AD when they arrive.
No micro adjustment on the clasp is a huge letdown. I think I like the look of the outgoing bracelet better. I'm also going to miss the awesome counter-weight on the chrono hand.
I've said that I won't get a Navitimer until the wings are back. There they are. Excited to try one out :)
Which one do you have in mind?
@@WatchAdvisor taken from this video and looking at the photos on Breitling website I still like the 43mm in black the most
The green dial is sick! But the price of 8.300€ is sick to🙈✌🏻
Thanks for the comprehensive run down Alex, very thorough as usual. I would pick the 41 as the best size for me however, since I favor the black and white dial for legibility, I might have to stretch to the 43 to get it. No worse then a Big Pilot I guess. I used to have a Breitling B1 with the slide rule and despite the detailed instruction book that the watch came with, it was quite hard to read the marks.
A good looking watch in any case.
Super great video. Congrats! I love this watch and its history
Thanks! Which one is your favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor The classic one (black). But I love the new blue dial 46mm. Just amazing
Once again. Alexander, your reviews of watches are just spot on, clear and also unbiased. Love your content and looking forward to more. Will you be doing a review on the newly launched Breguet Marine Hora Mundi 5557 ?
Thanks for sharing our passion! Breguet is not planed yet...
The different font size on the date compared to the rest on this subdial would drive me crazy I think but apart from that, those are really nice - especially the dial colors.
Well Alexander I have my 2015 Breitling Navitimer B01 just when Teddy sold to Kern and I’m quite happy to have this Breitling Navitimer it’s marvellous time piece 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Best Regards
Alan H
I also own an "old" one, but I will get me a new one too... Later this year I will do a direct comparison ...
@@WatchAdvisor Very nice👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼it’s important they keep wings as many Breitling fans love it and gives a nice touch…
Alan H
They should release a NaviSwatchimer.
Price has increased by quite a lot on this new NAVI…HOWEVER, watching this video I can see exactly where the extra cost is merited. Better dial, bracelet, clasp, movement, decoration etc etc. Circa £7000 is a lot of money and puts it in stiff competition with the Speedmaster and Portugueser however I think judging by this video the new Navitimer is comparable. Really nice
The new bracelet finally brushed 🔥
Someone just wrote bit still should be polished… But I agree the new ones look better…
Many thanks for the thorough review Alexander. I think it's great that the wings have made a return although I prefer the older wing design, a minor point though. I'd probably go for the 41 or 43 either in silver dial or the black dial as this would aid readability of the slide rule (yes I am old enough to remember them at school). Years ago I would have looked at a blue sunburst dial version but that would have been form over function for what is after all a tool watch. It might be worth noting that the B01 movement that is implanted into the Tudor chronagraph watches looses the hour counter but modifies the 30 minute counter to 45. I'll have a look at these at the AD at some point and see them in the flesh. I've been a fan of the Navitimer for many years.
The Breitling Navitimer GMT & Chronometer, B04 48mm is my Holy Grail watch. I really want to get one of those.
The only modification I would want is to have a "00" instead of the "24" and all of the hour numbers are level to the wearer's arm, not angled to the center.
I feel super lucky because I was able to find brand new 46mm gold/steel one with previous wings logo in 2022 and bought it 2 days ago 🥳 I saw it side by side with the new and liked the old one even more!!! They also share same B01 as well… So happy with my purchase 😏😎
Bravo! Congratulations! Tastes are different… May your Navitimer always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
@@WatchAdvisor thank you so much, actually Navitimer is kinda like 911, all models are iconic and beautiful ✌🏻
@@hkn777 Enjoy!
B01 in a 41mm standard Navitimer! Very exciting start to W&W! Looking forward to the Navitimer history video. Your watch presentations are the best! Very interesting that the silicon patent ends in 2023, I think Richemont has been waiting to use that material (they had the B&M that was shut down by Swatch/Rolex/Patek).
Thanks for sharing our passion!
The brushed finish on the case and bracelet is finally getting up to the level of Rolex and Omega it seems, Breitling has definitely invested in some new tooling I think.
IMHO these new ones are far better … I will do a comparison old/new later this year…
The 41 is perfect now and I am very glad they changed the clasp cause I like to see the extra strap on the outside, just waiting for the Black and White dial and I will run to the nearest boutique
Thanks for sharing our passion!
I want to go for the 41 but like the 43mm dial options much much more. I’ll try one in person and take a call. What would you get between the salmon dial Datora and this new Navitimer?
Brave move by Breitling 👏.... Love those new colourful themes especially the ice blue 😍 However I also think as a collector maybe better off stick the good old classic look of navitimer.
You should have a closer look and compare them side by side... I am pretty sure you like the new ones more...
@@WatchAdvisor small issue.... I still prefer the good old wing logo.... I know they try to make it look vintage...
More likely the seal between the rotating bezel and the mid case is responsible for the relatively low water resistance; I’m sure the pusher design isn’t that different between the Navitimer and the B01 chronograph (100M), but the latter, of course, doesn’t have a rotating bezel. Great content, as usual, Alexander, thank you!
NOW THIS SPARKS MY INTEREST - A 41MM NAVITIMER
Which dial?
@@WatchAdvisor GREEN DIAL 41MM WOULD BE MY PICK
43mm copper with the bracelet strap for me 😍
Thanks for sharing!
i just bought this one, it's incredible, easily the most beautiful of the entire group
My pick is the black eyed copper 43x22 which looks nice and characterful. These are traditional looking conservative Navitimers with a great engine. Nice to see the caseback is minus some of the stickers found on the capsule collection for example. Will have to check them out in the metal. Not sure about the logo but at least the wings are there.
Thanks for the video Alexander!!! But I wonder why they did not do a black and white panda for the 41mm version? Was really looking forward to that possibility.
Beatiful pieces, another great watch with the advantage of not to wearing a hockey puck, if your wrist is normal size
Thanks for a really great review. You mentioned (I think) some update Navitimer video. When will that come?
Grüßen auf Schweden.
Thanks for sharing our passion! The update is part of this video: BREITLING Navitimer. The story of an icon, narrated by @watchfred, aka Fred Mandelbaum.
th-cam.com/video/DPZ5woJnEX8/w-d-xo.html
I have a 20cm/7.9" wrist and have a 46mm Navitimer. Fits me perfectly. I also have a Breitling Chrono-Matic in 49mm and it's borderline too big. That said, I love Breitling and have 6 total and am always looking for my next one. I have sold other luxury watches that I've owned, but I have never (and will never) sell one of my Breitlings.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us! May your Breitling watches continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
Hope they would offer more color choices and a panda dial in 41mm.
41mm is for me, wish they maid in the panda dial 🐼
The lacking water resistance is due to the construction of the slide-rule bezel I believe.
This is probably why Sinn moved to operating it with a separate crown on their 903 (which is resistant up to 10bar).
If it was possible to up the water resistance I believe Breitling would have done so already, sadly just doesn't seem like it's possible without messing up the design.
It is due to the all over case construction… IMHO they could have done better than this…
@@WatchAdvisor if they pumped up the WR they’d fatten up the case. Breitlings tend to be fatties so keeping them on a diet is welcome in my opinion. WR has no meaning for me anyway, I take off my watches when at the sink! Hah!
There are some good new things such as the clasp, however I preferred the fully high polish look
The wings are back! It is a Navitimer again!
It’s hidden in the 6 o clock subdial
@@dominicrusho Well that is super cool! Did not even notice that. Great!!
Very good review: For my wrist 43mm is the best size, that's why I have a 2018 black & white with bracelet in 43mm.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us!
What wrist size are you
The 46mm actually doesn't look bad on your wrist! Totally get if it's not your preference, but if you wanted to you could pull it off. The lugs don't go past the edge of your wrist. For some people with really skinny wrists it would look bad on them
Love the return of the AOPA logo, branding wise makes a lot of sense.
The dial felt a little off with just the new/old B logo (especially considering the winged logo was still present on the clasp of the bracelet lol) but a return of the winged logo wouldn't have made sense as that was just the corporate Breitling logo (which they've now moved away from in favor of the B), so returning to that would have been confusing and messed up their new branding.
This Navitimer-specific logo is perfect, no confused branding anymore. Thumbs up from me 👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
These watches look fabulous.Breitling was so spot on with the 41 mm case ,making the watch wearable for more wrists.Also what Breitling enthusiast can resist that vintage logo ?
Offerings are great indeed… to be spoilt for choice is what we want…
Please ask Breitling if they are planning to release the reverse panda in the 41 mm size. Really surprised this is not available.
Die 41er mit dem grünen Blatt ist Killer! Ich bin aber an einer Sinn 103 Klassik 12 dran und die finde ich für 3000€ unschlagbar✌🏻
So cool! The green is a win! But wr still is a 3bar😭
Not great at all - yes!
Navi timer will be my choice for chronograph. Nothing’s wrong with Omega Speedmaster, it’s just too mainstream now
There is nothing wrong with a Navitimer… good choice 👍🏼
Possibly my next watch. A 42mm black dial on a strap would look great on my 8" wrist
You mean 43 mm I suppose…
Drinking Game-Every time Watch Advisor says "Yeah"...DRINK
🤣🤣
Sometimes the dial diameter doesn’t tell the whole story. Let me explain. The relative watch thickness for its size is the thickness divided by the diameter.
41 by 13.6 0.33
43 by 13.69 0.32
46 by 13.95 0.30
So the smallest has the relatively thickest waistline, the largest is the relatively slimmest. The largest won’t therefore wear like a hockey puck.
Well, again all subjective but the maths don’t lie, the small one needs to go on a diet!
Whatever, I’m going into town to have a closer look before going to the theatre. More later!
Exciting stuff. I’m having a Breitling day so to get me in the mood I’ll sport my beloved Breitling Aerospace, a completely different animal, from 2006.
How the years fly by. Fly. Get it... nevermind. haha!
Take care.
I have just been reading your two comments... Thanks for sharing our passion and your direct and unbiased feedback!
I love my 46mm with the black dial and everyone just comments about the way it looks but especially the weight of the piece and I have no problem with mine with the weight it is a perfect piece for me.
Thanks for sharing! may your "Navitimer" continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours....
I tried on the 46mm white eyed mid-
blue dial on both bracelet and strap. The bracelet seems too wide and large somehow - maybe just my wrist - at 24mm wide, but this watch really looks and feels great on the brown strap. Due to the short curved lugs you’d be surprised how you can pull it off. Big bold blue and beautiful it screams Navitimer from across the room! I also like ‘inter-horn’ for ‘lug-width’. It would be fun to bring back ‘inter-horn’ as a watch term :)
46mm. It’s like trying on Dad’s watch - but in a good way. Shrinking violets need not apply.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Interesting read...
Hello, o hello Alexander! It is always a pleasure to hear from you!
You are welcome 🙏🏻
I really like the changes to the logo, crystal, position of the date, and the skeletonized rotor. Does the silicon hairspring mean that it has some anti-magnetic capabilities like the new Omegas?
No, the silicon hairspring alone is not enough... it needs much more changes to the caliber...
I have the older reference blue with black sub dials in 43. Even with a tiny wrist, it somehow wears smaller than you think. Strangely, looks smaller than my 39 Omega FOIS on the wrist.
11:50 Nope. The slide rule is the feature that limits the water resistance. The bezel must stay movable.
Yes! Thanks for sharing...
I just bought a Navitimer like 6 months ago 😩 wish I waited
Is this a limited run production for the 70th anniversary, or is this the new design for all Navitimers moving forward?
Not that I know... to what I understood this is the new design of the Navitimer...
