A closer look at the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41 - Breitling is killing it!

[@BrandonMenancio]

Sweet video dude! Incredible shots. I appreciate these new models a lot.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thx mate. Really appreciate this coming from one of my fav watch KZbinrs ❤

[@hendersonshorology]

This is a great look at a watch that rarely features on YT, thanks so much for sharing Tom, it’s awesome! 👍🏻

Unfortunately stats are against these guys …. Hold my beer while I clean my speedy ….

[@rogerlampman5665]

I bought the classic black dial in 43 and love it. Thank you for the review.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

congrats! did you see the cosmonaute they just released ? i might need one ... but I still think that is a busy dial like that .. yet .. classic

[@GuleNissen123]

Excellent production quality as always Tom 🙌

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Much appreciated man.. thanks for checking in

[@ellmusic769]

You can see on the macro shoots that Breitling have really turned up the quality in finishing. I see nothing that I could fault.... Nice watch

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Exactly. It’s nuts. Only in the macro you notice no coating underneath the chrono hand but that’s the same with eg my explorer 2

[@theemperor2017]

What is micro and macro?

[@Odat]

I own both a 2022 46mm Navitimer 01 in green and black as well as a 43mm Navitimer 01 with the B logo. Breitling has upped their finishing game big time!. I have compared them many times. The case and the pushers now has brushed and polished finishes. The new crystal looks magestic. The movement also is finished better with the rotor. It feels and looks expensive now!. Don’t get me wrong, the previous one is good but this one is a lot kore refined!.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

absolutely looked stunning under macro from my end too :) thanks for watching!

[@apaullo2367]

Awesome video Tom! Love these new Navitimers. I manage to try them out at my local ad and they are very wearable on my small wrist. Breitling is going in the right direction with these 👌🏻👍🏻

[@BowlOfSalmon]

exactly what i was thinking .. thanks again for checking in man

[@harinplasticsurgery]

“.. dials busier than JFK on holiday” 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂 I LOVE these btw. Great visuals, Tom 💯🥂

[@BowlOfSalmon]

trying to keep it light :)

[@Maarten_is_here]

Excellent summary of this watch. At 41mm it’s a watch I wouldn’t mine wearing. Perhaps they should’ve ditched the date window as wel to add even more balance to the still busy dial. I’ve never been a fan of Breitling but lately they’ve managed to get my attention. Well done Breitling 👍

[@BowlOfSalmon]

thanks Maarten. I pretty much agree there. I do check the date more than I care to admit tho .. so it can stay

[@AZadeh-nd8vx]

Why get rid of the date? It's at 6 o'clock so perfectly balanced. I need to know the date almost as often as the time lol

[@ryangallagher7439]

Great video. Breitling one of tge most undrated watch brands out there.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thank you 🙏. They have icons in the collection tho

[@lachlancampbell3538]

Great video mate! Grail watch 👍🏻

[@BowlOfSalmon]

thanks man.. what model/color would be your pick ?

[@valentinoaril86]

Try premier pistachio and salmon datora.. and if you can, try navitimer 806 reedition and 765 avi reedition, and then there is top time cobra, top time triumph and chronomat ice blue... then you know how good breitling under kern era with the help from watchfred.. this is the best era for me from breitling after 2000

[@BowlOfSalmon]

i got a lot to learn ! :). that 806 re-edition did get my attention tho ...

[@luisdelaroca6314]

I know everyone talk about the premier collection, but I don’t know this 41 navitimers screams I’m a Breitling! This 41 silver and the pistacho navitimer are my favory Breitlings

[@BowlOfSalmon]

not the biggest fan of the superocean stuff or premier collection here

[@KERMIz]

What does the bottom subdial (3 6 9 12) do?

[@JamieReviewsStuff]

This one's next on my list. 😍

[@BowlOfSalmon]

solid choice ! :)

[@abcdLeeXY]

Classy timepiece now that it’s not humongous.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Nope. New sizes are great

[@garytru563]

It is a grail watch with me, don't think I'll every have it, but you never know. The new colors would make it hard for me to choose. You did a great job! Thank you. I now subscribe.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

thanks a lot mate. yeah choices right ... but in a box full of "classic" models .. we need a navitimer at some point

[@PeterBang77]

Just got the 747 one 😋

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I have no idea what you just said ... a boeing on the wrist ? ;)

[@edzaslow]

Nice watch, but the price of admission is too high.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

For all this beauty and name. Neah

[@fredob43]

The Navitimer I'll give you looks great. Just one small problem their movements are at best rubbish. Why do I say this well having just obtained a 46mm with Black Crocodile strap and folding clasp. Loved it. Just one small problem it never told the correct time, was always showing around 10min: fast every day. Now after a few months the winder has stopped working. Rendering it next to useless. Do Breitling care well NO. They did reply to my email about it not being fit for purpose, saying sorry it's not up to their usual quality, that's it. They will not cover it under their guarantee, now I'm expected to pay for it to be fixed myself. Tip don't waste your money.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Hmm. Every brand model can have an issue at some point. So rubbish I wouldn’t call these. But the way a brand handles with those issues is what should set them apart. So sorry to hear this and hope they can/will help. 10min fast per day ? Never heard that …. It was new ?

[@fredob43]

@@BowlOfSalmon Yes it was new. It's the second Breitling I have owned. The first had timing issues until I had it serviced. Since then, it has been fine. Would I buy another Breitling well No never. Wouldn't have minded to much if they had fixed it under guarantee. That sad to say in nonexistent if you try and make a claim. It's now at my local Breitling repair shop again. Might get it back in a few months. Why a few months??? well because of the delay of spare parts from Breitling. You would be better off buying a Timex Q. They seem to work well, also you will save loads of monies. N/B as soon as it's back it'll be put in the safe and up for sale. It will have a new 1-year guarantee. That's from the repair shop not from Breitling. Anyone buying it would be fine for that year. That's of course it lasts that long before it goes wrong yet again.

[@ashleychambers7602]

I’ve a tip for ya DONT BUY FAKES 😂😂😂

[@fredob43]

@@ashleychambers7602 I can assure you the one I obtained is not fake. Even had it confirmed by Breitling They of cause washed their hand of any problems. Having paid out yet more monies to get it fixed all was fine for around a month now it's reverted to running fast yet again. This time by around 5 Min: a day. Not going to spend yet more monies to sort it yet again I'm going to live with it. As said looks great but it's next to useless at telling the time. The conclusion will I ever buy another Breitling not on your life. Anyone thinking of buying a Breitling think twice before wasting your monies.

[@stavros_katsopr]

Well, although i'm at an age i can own a Breitling, the other two reasons still stand against it... Cheers Tom, nice vid mate, be well.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I think I’ve come to appreciate even dials like the 806. But like I said. Personably that new reversed panda. If only it was available in 41

[@BowlOfSalmon]

"personably" .. lol :)

thanks

[@fireop1833]

Dude the watch you are wearing I have but it is in very bad condition I want to sell

[@BowlOfSalmon]

find a local dealer .. not me

[@philipborlin]

They ruined the Navitimer. Should be the gold wing model with B01 movement!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

very harsh :)

[@petrucho130]

I wish they do black/blue and white 41. I have small wrist and cannot go for 43 or 46😢

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Maybe they will start mix and matching
