Anyone own multiple navitimers? I have the BO1 Swiss Air and I am strongly considering adding the new ice blue model as well. Essentially the exact same watch movement and dimensions...

I have in the past - in fact, I liked the Navitimer World so much at one point that I had 3 of them! I had the blue dial on blue croco, the black dial on brown calf, and the silver/white dial on the bracelet. At the time I managed to justify them all as being different enough to co-exist!

The ice blue is quite a bit more different to the Swiss Air than 3 Navi Worlds, so I say go for it!

I have happen to own several and they are one of my favorite watches! I have a RG 46mm bi-compax Navi, a Navitimer Rattrapante, a Navitimer Mecanique, a RG 43mm bi-compax in Havana Brown, a Blue Sky Limited Edition Navitmer, a Navitimer Cosmonaut and a 1959 Re-Edition. Although most utilize the B01 movement, a couple of them utilize different variations of the B01 movement. All are different enough that I don't feel as if they are the same watch. The two models that you mention have more than enough differences that only a Brietling fan would realize that they are both Navitimers!

Would love to see a pic of your Navitimer collection

That's a great collection! I could justify all three as different enough to co-exist, but (at the moment) I only have two of them.
