Here it is -

https://www.breitling.com/gb-en/watc...=PB02301A1B1P1

- and it's a beauty!

Only things I don't like is, a) the price (£2k more than the standard Navi, no doubt due to the use of platinum for the bezel, which I'd happily forgo for a nicer price!), b) the fact it's the 41mm case size as they wear very small on my wrist, and c) that fact that it's so limited - only 362. I think it's such a beautiful piece it deserved more...... like being part of the main catalogue again.

Looks good! A few issues, the date window kinda bothers me and the movement looks cool but not as cool as the old Lemania movements. Although the column wheel is a cool feature.

I had to look again for the date! Actually I prefer it there to 4pm like many others.

Absolutely. I can't stand 4:30 dates as they always just look like a clumsy afterthought, and especially if the font isn't orientated correctly.

My preference would have been a 1:1 re-edition based on the Navitimer 806 rather than the new Navitimer. I suspect, however, that Breitling management have given up on 1:1 re-editions since the 765 wasn’t such a commercial success.

Looks nice to my eye, and as of the time of this post available to add to online cart and purchase! Great to see in this market :)
