Everything You Need To Know: 2022 Breitling Navitimers + Omega Speedmaster - Why I Fell Out Of Love

[@Joebo31]

The Navi and speedy are both incredible chronographs. Blows my mind that the Daytona is considered so much more desirable than them both.

[@kellypaws]

Many people buy the brand, not the watch. Why else would thousands of people queue up for a plastic Speedmaster?

[@phmwu7368]

O.K. if You're talking pre-2002 wrist watches...

[@Keitan97]

Just don’t, I don’t want people lining up and buy these, not until I get my hands on it sometime next year 😂

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

I think that when I stare silently at my beautifuls Zenith El Primeros. The only (beat up) Rolex I own is my dad's watch, I had to keep it when he passed away

[@mbell7498]

Speedy and Navitemer look amazing on a strap. The Daytona without the bracelet looks horrendous.

[@triples4good]

The best watch/ horological channel on KZbin. What I have always truly appreciated is not just the honest in-depth reviews but the history behind the watch. So interesting. I’ve been watching since way back in the beginning and have always really enjoyed the videos. I used to really enjoy the comparisons.

[@theurbangentry]

Wow, thank you so much Steve, your comment just made my evening. I will not forget it. Duly noted on the comparisons, onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@triples4good]

@Will Harris me too

[@FreshYoungDude]

I actually said “WOW!” out loud when you unboxed the blue one. And I don’t even like blue dials normally! Fantastic.

[@v0llm1lch]

Yeah that blue is something special 😮

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

Everything Breitling makes under 44mm must be celebrated. My favorite is the mint green 41mm with the bracelet, a beaut.

[@theurbangentry]

👏👏👏👏 hear hear!!! Thank you, the mint green is the most unexpected Navi color yet. Best regards, TGV

[@dustindodge5974]

@@frankpentangeli7945 the only ones I love are the older ones. The Fighter edition is great, but me personally I prefer the 3-6-9 subdial symmetry.

[@danielrosic2960]

I remember being in an airport somewhere in the Middle East a few years ago and spotted the Navi 38s on display. They looked absolutely GORGEOUS, but when I look at pics online, they look lackluster. Interesting how watches can look very different in real life

[@GuyVanderAa]

The Breitling Navitimer was the first luxury brand I ever fell in love with (long ago). However when I had the money to buy one I was always disappointed by the movement and finishing. I felt the brand has let itself go a bit. That has changed the last two years and seeing how they evolved it’s definitely on my wish list again. For the Omega Speedmaster however… I fell in love with it some five years ago and couldn’t let it go. I did have my reserve towards handwinding and basic water resistant but holding it in my hand and the importance for space history, I’m sorry but I fell for the dream. Can’t help it. It’s a top favourite of mine and I was lucky to get one with caliber 861 from the nineties. I think the design is absolutely perfect and will last for ages to come. My heart simple skips a beat every time I see it. Great video, as always! 👍

[@chubbymonkey6604]

I just tried on the 41 and 43 yesterday at my local AD. That mint green is spectacular! If the price hadn’t gone up so much, it’d be an easy pick for me.

[@jiboo6850]

honestly, for me it's a great move. the only con is like you mentionned, the colors not available across the sizes. i love the mint green personally. if i had money i'd buy it in a heartbeat. my wrist is in a place sizewise thatallows me to go from 40 to 46 without issues. i'm blessed for that. 😁

[@cyprusdaedalus]

The navitimer was my grail. I didn't know what it was when I first saw one as a kid but the complicated dial just captivated me. Picked up a 2021 41 Blue/White (with the 7750) and it has not dissapointed. I will never sell this watch. I must say while the B01 is impressive it's quite a price jump that I just can't quite swallow. Or maybe i'm just too happy with what i'm lucky enough to already have!

[@lucianofinardi7222]

TGV - what I really appreciate about your channel is the span of coverage you give us. From G-shocks all the way to Seikos and the luxury horological queens and kings. Simply fantastic.

SBDB013 - 600m - Spring Drive. Oh boy….

[@dominicrusho]

TGV - any insight into what Dan Henry might be cooking up next? I have a feeling it might be a slide rule chronograph…I’ve seen him expressing admiration for old Chronomats in some Instagram comments recently…something along those lines would be absolutely killer!

[@theurbangentry]

Great question/idea, I honestly have no idea. I think if he would do something Navi-esque that would be amazing and I would be first to buy it. Genius idea and thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@Draklor92]

Hi! Judging by Dan's answers in his latest instagram posts, his next release is: 1) a three hander (no chronograph) 2) either a 50s pilots watch or a diver

[@danielleavitt5411]

I recently bought the last generation of the Navitimer B01 43. I love it. These new ones feel a little flat to me. I know the slide ruler is no longer sloped and the tach is now missing. I think what really makes the Navi for me is its complexity, so streamlining it is counterproductive. How did these wind? All the watches with the B01 I tried were very, very stiff when manual winding. I wonder if they fixed that with this generation.

[@ThePurple1968]

Great history and excellently presented, thanks. The new Navitimer is one of the worlds greatest watches, full stop. The dials are beyond stunning. The 43mm is perfect for my smallish risk and has the best colour range IMHO. Interestingly, on the green which I bought, the 41mm has the lightest, the 43mm is much darker, and the 46mm is darker still. Linking of colour to size - interesting. BTW its the Sinn 903, not the 904. Its a wonderfully more toolish watch but not in the same league for finishing as the Breitling. In answer to your question, I think that a second crown would take away from the style, and keeping the rotating sapphire is also great for protection and essential for the look. So unfortunately I think we are stuck with 30m for some time. Lastly, as well as being such an amazingly thin chronograph movement, it has 49 jewels !!! hopefully that means it will last longer between maintenance. In terms of price, I agree that generally swiss watches have shot up in the last 10 years, but weirdly, I think its good value compared with its peers. With stainless steel three handers this well finished, like the Chopard Alpine or the Patek Aquanaut, they are all over £10,000, compared to the Breitling 43mm with bracelet at £7,300. And the basic speedmaster with sapphire manual wind is £7,400. However good the speedmaster is, I dont think you can compare the construction and finishing to the new Navitimer. So avoiding the word "good" value for any swiss watches, there is, one could say, positive relative value with this one Luke - LOL

[@davidcrandall4958]

I took apart my Navitimer AOPA Cosmanaute in 1967 when I was 11. It's my Dream to own one again!

[@tarasmathers7423]

While I'm still not so sure that TGV is not an alien.....I will agree that one simply cannot pass judgement on a watch, until they've had it in hand and on wrist for a period of time. How long of a period of time, is subjective, and a matter of debate. I love Breitling, and they are one of my favorite brands. Both pre, and post Georges Kerns management. My favorite model in the Breitling catalogue being the "Chronomat B01," in 42mm. I love that Georges has brought back the rouleaux bracelet (aka the bullet bracelet). One of my all-time favorite bracelet designs. I'm a big fan of the "Navitimer" as well. Well done TGV. Very enjoyable to watch, as always

[@ryanthomas9306]

Your intro is exactly why I always watch your shows, sometimes they are on auto play while I’m at work. There’s watch reviews that just put on a watch and say click my link, but don’t actually know what it’s like to own one

[@theurbangentry]

I am honored thank you, you know EXACTLY what I mean. I've even seen "reviews" of watches using only images from a website, SMH. Thank you Ryan, Best regards, TGV

[@youzername]

I had no idea that you had co-designed a watch with Hanhart, that's incredible. Congratulations on that. I'm sure many would love to hear about how that process came to fruition, and what it was like. Perhaps a video on that in the future? Excellent content, as always.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Breitling’s relatively soft secondary prices make this piece an excellent bargain slightly used. For example I’ve just tried on a lovely 43mm reverse panda from 2016 at a healthy 35% discount. It’s a great piece and has the full ‘authentic’ Breitling DNA branding - Gold B logo with wings, Anchor on the second hand, full logo on the reverse side and a cheeky F/C temp conversion on the case back. The new 2022 ones are really nice too, it’s just a little pill to swallow the redirection in branding; maybe I prefer the old school livery and the large discount might push me in that direction. Still, no wrong choice here - cracking watches with a fine historical back story. Every watch lovers collection isn’t complete without some flavour of Navi in the rotation. Go Breitling!

[@TheWayofGrace89]

The A23322 in blue I believe it was, that you had about 5 years ago, was the best looking Navi to my eye.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Here to support my brother TGV! Thank you again for the history lesson. Man these new releases look great 👍🏼 (that blue dial 🔥)

[@henrywest7217]

A good and thorough review as usual. I very much enjoyed it. And yes, a glossary of Urban Gentry interjections would be really interesting.

[@jamesbaum9775]

That blue dial with the black sub-dials is beautiful. Love the 41 Mint Green as well.

[@alexm2113]

Love the look of these new Navitimers and I'm willing to forgive the 30m water resistance, but that is so frustrating about the color limitations by size. I seem to like the colors the 46mm ones come in but definitely don't have the wrist size to pull it off.

[@mayday0341]

Walked into my local Breitling boutique today to view the new Navi. Placed a deposit on a 46mm model with the sky blue face w/ white subdials. Before I left the mall, however, was already having second thoughts. Just too expensive when I know I can pick up a gently used Navi for thousands less. Thanks for your honest, unbiased review as always!

[@KyrosJohn]

After years of hard work I've finally got me a Navi 2022 blue and white 46mm! Dear Gentry I must say you've brainwashed me into it and couldn't be happier!

[@michaelriera6277]

I can feel your enthusiasm for the Navi. I love , love this watch. So much history and beautifully detailed dial. I’m glad Breitling’s improvements still preserved everything that’s made the Navi a classic.

[@AdilHafiz86]

100% agree on the huge negative of only having certain colours in certain sizes... Do we think they could release more combinations soon?

[@_Peter_.]

Like the vintage Fortis cal. 5100. Like the Breitling Cosmonaut (without date) But the esthetic of the Speedmaster is on a different level! I am not even speaking about heritage, history, marketing or quality. IMHO the Omega Speedmaster with its clean dial, unique asymmetrical case design and twisted lugs is one of the best looking watches ever made! Thanks for the video!

[@coffeeisgood102]

Like the Fortis you highlighted, I also wear a Lemania 5100, but it is inside my Omega Mark 4.5. I find this more useful than the Speedy as it has a 24 hour hand, day and date, and is automatic.

[@nchance1]

I went into a Breitling store and purchased a Breitling Aviator 8, P40 Warhawk. I wasn't even considering a Breitling, but the quality and perfection of the watch really spoke to me. I do believe Breitling is gaining some ground, perhaps a Navi is in my future.

[@vadkram463]

Good wrist check. I'm wearing the same Flighty with the NDC strap. Because of your previous video about them, of course. I wear it all the time.

[@peterpenhk]

Thanks for covering the new Navitimers, enjoyed your video as always. I was scratching my head about the poor coverage of this 2022 Navitimer update, no major watch journal talk about it, not a single one! I didn't learn about it until the release of the new LE Cosmonaute in May...

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

I’m selling some watches to go towards a Navitimer purchase. I’m really digging your Cosmo. Great video. I agree with your disappointment re: water resistance. We can put a man on the moon, we can put a man on the moon with a Navitimer, but we can’t get more than 30m of water resistance?! 😂

[@David-nx2vm]

Last summer I was choosing between the Navitimer and the Chronomat. The Navitimer’s slide rule bezel was just too busy for me. I went with the Chronomat and I have no regrets.

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Just got to take a moment to thank you for all the research that you put in and also the way you deliver it. So much effort goes into all the pictures and cut scenes and it is much appreciated. I had no idea that the breitling went into space before the omega!

[@user-yk3rx7ok1i]

I am not sure but wherever you search on the internet it says that the Navitimer was introduced in 1952 (not in 1954). So it seems that it actually is it's 70th birtday. By the way I am also the proud owner of a 1965 Navitimer 806 (along with a 1964 Rolex Sub ref. 5512 gilt-dial, a 1968 Rolex GMT Master ref. 1675, a 1963 Omega Seamaster De Ville, a 1971 Seiko 6139 Pogue, a Heuer Monaco and a 1965 Rolex Explorer 1016 gilt dial). My best regards TVG. Keep up the good work. Greedings from Athens-Greece

[@ashleysmith89]

One advantage of the darker sub-dials is the legibility of the hour and minute hands. When the hands are in the 5-7 range on the Navitimers with light sub-dials, it can be hard to read the time (for those of us over 40, at least).

[@mad0uche]

41+ mm watches can be scary, but when I see the Breitlings at the mall they aren't that huge, and the 38mm rolexes seem tiny, these watches are much different in real life.

[@theurbangentry]

Excellent point. One of the few watch brands I feel that genuinely does "bigger" better. Besides, from a tool perspective, it makes sense. Thank you Matt, Best regards, TGV

[@kellypaws]

It’s all a matter of proportion and individual taste. If a big Breitling looks good on someone, it looks good. That’s it. Case closed. There’s no point wondering about fashion, or what someone else likes, if it isn’t what makes you happy.

[@poulwinther]

Some of have to think in proportion to the wrist. Too overhanging lugs can just get silly.

[@turbohusque]

[@ExpeditedProductions]

TGV, I can’t express how EXACTLY you captured my feelings regarding the latest “hot topics” in the watch-world. The hype over the MoonSwatch, the Rolex “prediction” videos, the hands off “reviews of new releases….they all seem unending and yet full of unnecessary, copy cat drivel. You, as always, bring the refreshing juxtaposition of high quality, unsponsored, productions to a watch world filled with people all talking about the same thing at the same time. Thank you, as always. As for the Breitlings, the blue is truly stunning, but the black seems more of a classic. The both seem really refined and polished compared to previous examples. As a pilot, I have always always wanted a Navitimer, but I have yet to pull the trigger. Something always stops me from getting one. While I love the history and aeronautical association, there are too many drawbacks there to justify the price. I, for many years thought that I would be picking up the Sinn to fill my Navitimer itch. To be honest, as previously mentioned in other comments, my Flighty and Dan Henry 1963 Blue Steel still satisfy me. I probably will end up with the Sinn, but while I love the design and history of Breitling, I doubt I’ll own one. TGV, thank you so much for the excellent video. My son and I truly enjoyed every second. Hope you and yours are well! Onward and upward, my friend!

[@akinigiri]

I got the mint green in 41! Great video! My only problem, is that the Dan Henry doesn't hit me. It seems like a thing trying to grasp other's heritage. I see the value of it, but that aspect doesn't get me over the line

[@tilleulenspiegel8106]

I believe the very first Navitimer dates back to 1952, a very limited edition commissioned by AOPA. Its slide rule was a development on the slide rule found in the original Chronomat, matching the cardboard computer used by pilots. It was later expanded to a product line. I believe that is when it transitioned from the Valjoux 72 to the Venus 178. But I may be wrong, matey.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

My main issue with the new Navitimer is the date window cutting into the sub dial. It looks like such a after thought. Just make them dateless like they should be. Like the vintage Navitimers great video pizan 🇮🇹

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you my friend, I could not agree more, I guess that is why I love my Cosmo so much too. Best regards, TGV

[@TheBrendonian]

I think this is a brilliant compromise. I always felt that the 4:30 location for the date window looked like an afterthought. This new one is very neatly integrated. Dateless might look better, but for most people, the date is actually the most useful complication.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

@@TheBrendonian I disagree it looks it shouldn't be there. It's a sub dial imop and date should not be cutting into a sub dial. It looks tacky but hey it's just my opinion 🤷 if you like you like it. These watches are already busy enough without adding a date 📅I don't get this need of sticking a date window on every watch. Especially on a watch it doesn't look right on and the navi is one of them. They should be dateless like the original Navitimers. A date on a 2 sub dial chronograph is fine since it has the room but it's to much on a 3 sub dial chronograph.

[@AZadeh-nd8vx]

I agree about the colour combo and sizes. I love the mint green but wish it was available in 43mm!

[@zacharybuckwash6466]

Another great video! I like how in most videos you take the time to review the history of the brand or model. I personally like to buy a watch brand or model with history. Makes collecting more fun in my opinion. The Breitling Navitimer looks great! My turn off with chronographs have always been how gentle you have to be with them especially the speedy. Too many examples online of the speedy getting wet and malfunctioning or a pusher coming off. Don’t get me wrong I love the speedy and hope to own one someday but I would like to see Omega increase the water resistance and durability.

[@LOVES-A1911]

Breitling has been heading into the right direction with their design and customer service has been getting good reviews. There's always a tiny bit of something missing though; like why can't we get an automatic model with a modern movement, under 42mm, non-Bentley affiliated, with the wing logo AND the B counter weight on seconds hand? Those are all the characteristics one would want but they don't have such a model 😅 let me know if you can find one TGV! 🙏

Also, 21:53 I think is a great idea: a quick Urban Gentry Slang video. It doesn't have to be longer than 3-5 minutes (GIAJ installment), so we can "bring back" some of these terms in our every day lexicon (dodgy, ghastly, jammy, rabbiting on, bailiwick). It would be fun to have Hugo Mountbatten host it.-or even have him do one or two terms before the intro music. Just riffing out an idea. Thanks for reading!

I probably would too, but I recently bought a DH 1964 Panda (no date) and absolutely love it. The beads of rice bracelet is by far my favorite metal bracelet of any of my watches.

love your point of what year should be the anniversary. No one actually talked about it. Their website said 1952 was only the year they got the request to make a navitimer but it was not the launch date. Seems that they do not want to miss the watch hype and launch it 2 years later

Looking to step up the the luxury tier to celebrate a professional milestone. I started out with a short list of the Speedy and a Grand Seiko, but tried the Navitimer on a whim (green and black, 43mm), and fell in love with it. The price is a modest deterrent, but everything else just felt plain on my wrist after trying on the Navi.

[@ProperCh]

I knew TGV would have a field day with the updated Navitimer haha. Good health to you TGV and hope you have a wonderful 2022!

[@Odat]

A yellow gold wing logo while nice takes focus away too much from the dial!. That’s all you see first!. The newest silver colored wings logo just blends in better with the dial and gives the dial the glory :-)

[@Spiff1887]

I agree, Breitling made some odd choices here. Adding the new colorways was a solid move, but I'd prefer white sub dials on the darker blue than the black, and not having them all available in all sizes is baffling. Love the display case backs and hate the new seconds hand. Since they changed the applied logo from the B and getting rid of it on the counterweight is a baffling choice. I agree with your reactions to this release. To put it simply for every change they made for the better, they made one that had me scratching my head. Also, THANK YOU for recommending Moyer so much on your channel. I recently purchased a Speedmaster from them and felt very comfortable giving them my business because of how often and how well you speak of them.

[@zumalot]

Whew! The blue one belongs on my wrist. I believe you stated it was one of the larger offerings. I would want the larger watch. The many numbers for calculations which I will never understand should be big and bold to go along with big and bold lack of understanding. It just looks cool! My hats off to the many, especially in the past who built great things with the standard slide rule or flew many miles with the help of that wrist worn manual computer. I will never own this watch. Older age now and throwing money at watches during a younger age has set me for a quiet retirement on not much money, but I will make it and be grateful for God's many blessings. My just serviced 1966 Top Time will have to do, hopefully for the remainder of my bottom's time here on terra firma. Thanks for the review, TGV. Ciao.

[@mieszkogulinski168]

The mint green one looks awesome

[@Austionous]

I have always loved the Breitling Navitimer and wanted one, but they are a bit too large for my small wrists. I'd love to see something with a similar look to the classic navitimer in 38mm. Same with the Speedmaster professional, which is such a great design, but again too big. It might be time to look into Fortis!

[@theurbangentry]

That would be amazing! But do give the new 41 a try in a store if you ever pass one, you may be surprised, they wear well. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@Apokathelosis]

I have small, female-like size wrists, and all my watches are big. I put specs over look. Today I bought Citizen Promaster Sky with internal rotating bezel which diameter is about 38 mm and its legibility is very low. Case diameter is 44 and lug to lug 48 mm, similar to Breitling 41. So Navi can't be smaller and yet has usable slide rule. 41 mm should be tolerable even for the thinnest wrists.

[@springthyme501]

As someone with a 16cm wrist who just tried on the new navitimer and the speedy today. I can say with confidence that they both wear very well. Make sure to give them both a try, though the diametre might be bigger than your used to the lug to lug on both these pieces are very manageable.

[@jimvonkropsberg399]

Great and passionate presentation, thanks ! Breitling made a big step ahead this year indeed. The blue and the mint green with leather as well as metal strap are stunning. And if dual color with Gold, yes please traditional yellow.

Ooooh, ohhhhh, whow, OMG 😂 There is no denying - you are a big Navitimer fan!

[@goldtoothjacko]

T, Great and informative video. Your passion for the Navi is clear to see. Best as always. Matthew

[@verykeen2please]

glad to see a full sized option and is a classic

[@differentxminds9907]

Hi TGV, can you do a video (maybe with Marc) about what you think are underrated watch brands?

[@theshadowman1398]

Hopefully I will finally get my hands on a navitimer next year. But only the automatic version. I don't want stupid service bills that comes with a chronograph.

Fantastic video TGV. As you may, or may not, recall I am a huge fan of Breitling.....mostly thanks to your videos. I currently own 7 Breitlings, including a 1st generation Emergency, a Transocean, a Galactic, and my very very favorite watch in my entire collection, a Navitimer Twin Sixty.....a one year only version. And also thanks to you my next Breitling is going to be a Navitimer Cosmonaute. I just have to own one of those. Love that new blue Navitimer, though any of them would make great additions to my collection. You never know, right? Thank you for this video. Onwards....Upwards......

Fire 🔥 video bro love these new looks from Breitling that Blue Dial is a killer!

I recently had my 1990’s “Old Navitimer” serviced at Breitling and it was eye wateringly expensive especially as it’s a watch I rarely wear because I find it a bit too large and heavy on my wrist. That said, it came back looking brand new and running beautifully. I could sell it and probably get back the £1800 I paid for it many, many years ago but I know that I’d regret it. Just looking at it in my watch box is a joy.

I agree with your synopsis on the Navi. And it may be a goal to get one.Agree. the 30 m is a bit disappointing. Maybe the flighty first? What I did purchase a few days back was the Dan Henry 1937. This purchase, of course, is with your great segment on the particular timepiece. Once again, as always, great job!

Loved this T. Yeah I like the Navi, it’s history and it’s look definitely! As a tool watch to have the same WR as an F91W is not great! There must be a way of making the slide rule seperate to the case so the movement wouldn’t be exposed????? The 41 mm in blue would be the one for me! If they made one!!!!;)

The nicest Breitlings are the antique NAVITIMERS with the small steel DOTS around the bezel...

[@wfyu9769]

TVG, at the first place: Thank you about this video! Second: Between Navitimer and Speedmaster (like design and first feeling), I always will stay behind the Navitimer. Like water resistance, you know... Like water resistance and everyday use I choose the model of Sinn. Third: For me Navitimer model must stay chronograph. His name, as you know come from "navigation timer". Where goes the "timer" in three hands model? If simple, three hands watch was enough for (precisely) measuring of time, why someone must/can create chronograph complication? Only for complication for itself? I don't think so... Keep this way doing interesting videos and wish to you and your channel all the best!

A new TGV video always makes the day better. I was hoping you’d cover the new breitlings cause to be blew Rolex and Tudor out of the water

I'm really loving the 2022 Breitling Navitimers in green, it nearly snapped my neck when I saw it, i'll let it stew for a while but I think I might have a new grail watch
