Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46mm Stainless Steel Blue Dial

The Breitling Navitimer B01, reference AB0137211C1A1 is a standout within the Navitimer lineup, combining the collection’s historic aviation design with a bold blue dial and modern mechanical performance. The 46mm stainless steel case delivers the signature presence the Navitimer is known for, while remaining surprisingly wearable thanks to the slim profile and well proportioned lugs.

The dial is a deep sunburst blue, contrasted by silver-toned chronograph subdials and a red-tipped seconds hand that gives it a subtle sporty edge. The date window is set between four and five o’clock, keeping the symmetry of the layout intact. The outer slide rule bezel and detailed minute scale make the watch instantly recognizable, especially to collectors familiar with its pilot roots.

Inside is Breitling’s Caliber 01 movement. It’s a column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch, offering smooth operation, a 70 hour power reserve, and COSC-certified chronometer accuracy. The movement is visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, showcasing its finishing and engraved rotor.

Paired with a stainless steel bracelet, this version of the Navitimer feels modern and timeless at the same time. It’s a great option for someone who appreciates the technical side of watchmaking but wants something that still carries heritage and wrist presence.
