The Beauty that is Breitling

Hello All

Just wanted to share a few photos of my new Breitling Navitimer 01 Limited Edition watch I just picked up today. I love the new larger size (43mm) and transparent case back. Check out the nice font the date has! With their new in house movement, increased size and its good looks, I think Beitling has done everything right with this one!

Also, since it is a Limited Edition, I feel very fortunate to have one.

Enjoy the photos.
Drew

Very nice Drew, Congrats.

The Navitimer is a classic, and that one looks real nice.

Very nice Drew, any chance you'll pick up the wonderful Navi bracelet as well? It looks great on it when I saw it at my AD recently.

Looks great I was torn between the limited chrono or navitimer with b01 movement and went with the chrono.

Beautiful piece, congratulations! I must say I love the writings on the case back, it's quite fancy.

Can I ask you if the strap has a deployment buckle? I think that would make this watch the perfect chronograph.

Thank you very much! This one has a tang buckle on it. But while I was at my AD buying it I did look at a brown crock strap w/ deployment that looked just great on it, but I decided to wait since I like the feel of the soft leather strap it came with. I am also thinking of picking up a rubber strap for it as well.

Rubber would be a good choice but I personally prefer leather. Brown croc would probably look awesome too!

Breitling's are great. I've had about 10 over the years. and a rolex is a rolex, but they are never a breitling.

gotta love them
