Ice Blue Navitimer

I’ve always been interested in the navitimer but never pulled the trigger. I REALLY like this new release and especially the ice blue dial color. Has anyone collected this? Would love to see some pictures. I feel like it might look better in person.

Those are the things I like about it

Date location is perfect imo.

Date location is one of my favorite parts of this watch. Looks much cleaner. Not a fan of the logo - I'm with you on that.

That "early 90's leftover bracelet" is one of the most, if not the most comfortable bracelets around. Could it be improved, definitely, but as it stands I find it to be one of the best!

The logo is a modern interpretation of the AOPA logo; it looks great. The bracelet is a much-improved interpretation of the outstanding pilot's bracelet, with alternating brushed and polished links. It's one of the best bracelets in the business and drapes well.

It fit very well. Great size, my wrist is 7.75 for reference. I was hoping to see the Chronomat in that colour but no luck. As much as I’ve wanted to get a navitimer for a while, the 30m water resistance just kills it for me.

I'm actually quite liking the new mint green 41 Navitimer. Problem is, I think I want to try GO first, so it may be awhile. I much prefer the date at 6 than 4, but each to their own.

I tried on the mint green with leather strap this past weekend and it was beautiful, thinner, and a better size than the old ones. I compared it side by side with a navi from last year and it was better in every way.

I like the new Navitimer and have picked up the blue 46 mm on the bracelet and the Copper 43 mm version on the strap. The design updates are nice and the watches wear well. I tried the blue 41 mm on in the store and liked it a lot. I thought visually it wore bigger than my 42 mm Speedmaster Professional. I will get some pictures when I get a chance.

I’m thinking of the same models. Do you mind me asking what kind of discount to expect?
Thanks and congratulations on your new killer watches!

While not an ice blue, I tried on the mint on the bracelet this last week and lost my mind!

I would own it now but they weren’t in the mood to deal. I’ll find a deal and pull the trigger on this one before long!

Was at a Breitling even the other night at the boutique showcasing vintage Navitimers that are owned by Breitling. Such beautiful watches. Got to handle the new ones and really liked them a lot. Especially the green one pictured above.

It certainly is!

The one thing I think is absolutely daft about the new bracelet though, is the move towards a butterfly clasp! i.e. Zero micro-adjustment. And all the while every other brand moves towards more, and on-the-fly, adjustment. Silly decision IMO.

you are able to swap the clasp to the other style with the micro adjust tho.
I think the green dial would look better with a black tachymeter surrounding it.

It's a watch that looks best on a strap imo. Same goes for an IWC Pilot. The ice blue looks lovely.
