Certainly. In this price segment, Breitling offers the best pilots watch.

Totally agree! While I appreciate the classic look of a solid caseback, seeing the intricate mechanics on a GMT complication would be a treat. Perhaps it’s a trade-off for keeping the profile thinner?

I understand the traditional association, perhaps Breitling is exploring the Navitimer’s versatility. Not all pilots need a chronograph anymore with digital advancements.

You could be right! Perhaps there’s a “date version” coming soon. I wouldn’t mind a slightly thicker case if it meant a more robust movement, but they need to be transparent about the changes.

I own one Navi only but it’s better looking than a daytona or a speedmaster imo, and wears better for people with smaller wrists.

You’re not kidding! That price hike is a tough pill to swallow, especially considering they took a useful function away. Maybe there’s something they’re not telling us, but for now, it’s a big turn-off.
