I like the date in the 6 subdial, it always seemed an afterthought at 4 to me.
I don't like the new wings but like everything else we'll get used to them.
Some decent color and strap combos, the 41mm black and blue is nice!

Strangely, the logo is growing on me already. The colour combos and skeleton rotor looks incredible! About time we had more black bezel navitimers.

The date window at 6 - looks great.
New dials - like that a lot.
New wings logo - terrible.
I cant imagine rolex changing their crown logo. The good old wings should stay forever on breitling dials...

I am a Navitimer fan and those new 46mm B01 are fantastic, but... why remove the GMT/Worldtime models? Makes no sense for a watch that is targetted to pilots and travelling people.
Does anyone know how long typically it takes before the reps appears?

The GMT models have an ETA 7754 movement which allow for GMT.
The new Navitimers use B01 in house which don’t have GMT compatibility.
As for when they will be released as reps, seeing as we are still waiting for last year’s super chronomat 44, I think it’s gonna be a while- but I hope not.

Thanks for the explanation. I was set off by the whole "new generation Navitimer" thing. So basically they made a new dial, few other esthetical changes and a "new generation" is born :-(. However thye did the B1 46mm which I believe was not there previously. Did they manage to fit it with the original B01?
Seems I have to stick to my loved Navitimer GMT blue dial then
At first, I thought the new wings were awful, too. But strictly speaking, they are a homage to the early Navitimer models and a piece of Breitling history. That, in turn, I find good.
p.s.: The new/old wings-logo is the logo of the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association).

I went by an AD yesterday and the 46 green dial is pretty awesome in person. It is green when looking at it directly but turns basically black from any other angle. I was very impressed with it. Very curious to see what the reps look like.

I like the logo and love the date wheel and would trade both chronomats, speedmaster and longines for the 41mm black-eye-blue..
I think they’re badass!!

I always wanted a decent Cosmo rep, but they never seem to bother making one. I'm still annoyed that they haven't repped the 806 re-issue!
Anyway, I like the details of the new navitimer, but would've preferred if they kept the tachy scale on the dial instead of deleting it.
But I guess the objective was to simplify the look, to make it cleaner. All this combined with the colours and high class touches move it further from the "pilots tool watch" in my opinion. Even if the navitimer in modern times is more of a vanity item than a essential instrument.

Hopefully they rep this
This or the 806 reissue as mentioned would be an instant buy for me
. Vintage Navitimer just hits different for me.Generally speaking how long does it take before new releases get replicated?
I love the blue on black

If it is green and has a crown in the dial, about 36hours. If it has wings in he dial, about three years.
Haha! So true. Haven’t seen GF come out with a new Breitling release in 1.5 years.

I feel like Breitling takes a little longer. Still waiting for that pastacio chrono
. I will wait a few years if that means we get a B01 clone movement so we get these and the Tudor Chronos
