Quick TakeThis Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 is a study in contrasts, blending the historical appeal of the classic pilot's watch with modern refinements. The 43mm case wears comfortably, thanks to its relatively slim profile and downward-sloping lugs. The iconic slide rule bezel, a legacy of the Navitimer's aviation heritage, adds a touch of "tool watch" functionality. But don't let that fool you – this timepiece is equally at home in the cockpit or the boardroom. The in-house Breitling 01 movement, visible through the sapphire caseback, is a workhorse, providing accuracy and a substantial power reserve. With its clean lines, contrasting subdials, and that pop of red on the seconds hand, this Navitimer exudes a confident, timeless style.

DescriptionThe Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 in stainless steel (reference AB0138211B1A1) is driven by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a self-winding mechanical movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This COSC-certified chronometer vibrates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and boasts a chronograph function capable of measuring time to 1/4th of a second, with 30-minute and 12-hour counters. The movement, comprised of 47 jewels, also features a date display visible through an aperture on the dial.

Encasing this intricate mechanism is a robust stainless steel case with a diameter of 43mm and a thickness of 13.69mm. The watch has a total height of 49.07mm measured from the tip of the upper lug to the tip of the lower lug. A cambered sapphire crystal, glareproofed on both sides, protects the dial, while a screwed-in sapphire crystal caseback offers a view of the movement. The watch is water-resistant to 3 bar (30 meters) and features a bidirectional slide rule bezel for performing aviation calculations. A non-screw-locked crown with two gaskets adds to the watch's resilience. The solid stainless steel bracelet, with a width of 22mm at the lugs, tapers to 18mm at the clasp, completing the watch's sturdy construction. The watch-head weighs approximately 77.2g, while the total weight of the watch, including the bracelet, is approximately 159g.
