overall design is rather 'busy', but as a daily beater, why not?

I have a change to put it on my wrist in the boutique. I must say it looks gorgeous.  :thumbsup:

With in-house movement now, I think it is a good iconic choice.

One of the drawback is that the movement is not proven, and that is why Breitling is giving their in house movements 4 or 5 years warranty.

( I am also interested in their Chronomat 44 GMT )

One of those watches that I'd so much nicer on the wrist than in pictures, and the B01 is a very good movement. If you have the wrist for it, do it.

Looks great but a bit of complex

Wow! The dial is extremely busy!  Looking at it gives me a headache.  I must be getting old.  I guess it is an acquired taste.  If you like it, go for it...but there are so many other better options out there...IMHO.

this is a classic like the omega speedy. Dial design not as clean as omega. But a cool watch.... :Cheers:

this year breitling has the 46mm navitimer 01. Great wrist presence .. :thumbsup:
