NAVITIMER 41 KOR vs GEN

[OldNavitimer]

So this just happened today.

And I decided to to a quick comparison with my KOR Navi 41 black.
I'm going to skip the commentary and let the pics do the talking.

Comments welcomed.

Great pics bro. Congrats on the new piece, it's a stunner. I'm no expert on Breitlings but the KOR model looks very good to me. The KOR date font is thicker and the slide rule indices don't go all the way down but it looks like a real contender.

Just lovely pieces, all finishing looks very high level!

Looks quite good to me.

I actually like the thicker date font on the KOR better.

What other dial colors on the Kor?

...damn that’s a nice piece...
the slide rule meeting the dial is one of those features I just LOVE about the navitimer.. I’m not sure why, but there is just something about it and it’s an itch the reps just cannot scratch..
but yeah that KOR is really good other than the slide rule.. my KOR has really grown on me for sure... I have the bla.. ..I mean blue dial..

Great comparison The kor looks very nice! Amazing how good it looks. Slight differences with the a/r and caseback engravings a little more shallow but over pretty much 1 to 1.

I just realized the date wheel font is wrong on the KOR. The gen uses a standard sans serif ETA datewheel. The KOR uses an Avenger chrono 7750 serif datewheel. It's the same problem with the v1 early GF Avenger II GMTs. While I actually perfer the serif type, its not consistent with gen.

Thankyou for doing this, as a fellow KOR owner, and congratulations on getting that beautiful gen.

That's very kind of you to buy a gen for this comparison!


Congrats.

Regarding the gen date font, for the off white dial like yours, I've seen that thin font.

But on the other colour GENS, I've seen the thicker Breitling date font. Wonder why that is....

Thank you for the great pics!
Do you find the kOR thicker and heavier compared to the gen?

I have the black KOR and it just feels legit. The sunburst effect is beautiful and the tolerances pretty great.. Aside ftom the minor issues of the slide ruler not aligning— ive seen gens pics with the issue— I have no real concerns. Doubt you could get called out when on the wrist.

How is the feeling with the blue datewheel? Do you even see this?

With the black KOR I had, neither I nor the previous owner had noticed it until I took macro shots in a particular lighting. So on a daily basis I'm gonna say no.

Saw the gen blue dial in Breitling Boutique 2 days ago. Biggest difference is that the date wheel is black and also the blue dial comes with a black leather strap. In order to get the blue strap (like KOR) you have to buy it extra.
Regarding the date font, gen had exaclty the same font as the KOR, only difference was the date wheel color. It looks like they use 2 different datewheels, some watches have bold and some other non bold fonts.
