Is this thicker than gen? Is gen using b01 movement which is thinner?

Gen is 14.44 dealers advertise 14.5.. wonder if OP can verify rep thickness.

I don’t think the blue is off at all. I just think there is different variants of this blue watch on the market. Take a look at this German review. Blue looks pretty spot on. Can’t wait to get mine

How did I miss this one...the colour does look a shade darker than gen as OP said but that could be lighting.
Take this example the SOHII...my gen 46mm vs rep GF 42mm. Pick the colour difference

The size of 41mm with a 22mm x 20mm strap is interesting as it is larger than I would have expected.
Between this the Top Time, Avenger, Cobra dial etc so many Breitling to look at recently

Anyone got a link to this one in black or blue, I’ve tried trusty and puretime but am only getting other factories Navi whilst searching like V7F, OXF, GF or KOR only in the non chrono 38mm version.
Is it called something else on TD sites?

Thanks for the link to the video, you're right, it does look very close! Although that dial doesn't have CHRONOMETER on it...not that I'm bothered by it either.
I've just measured my watch with calipers:
Diameter of bezel 41.43mm
Overall thickness 14.96mm
No, thank you for those gorgeous pics and detailed thoughts!
You know, I actually prefer it to say CHRONOMETER haha! It just looks so much better and we know watches with this word are also made by Breitling.
This watch ticks all the boxes. I can't wait to have my blue on a black alligator, it's making me drool

Wow! Once I have seen this video im definatly going to go blue now. There are obviously different variations of the gen. I personally love the deeper blue so its sealed the deal. Gonna order this weekend before they sell out of rhr blue.
Thought I’d share this.
Below is a picture which shows gen on the left, and a photo shared by the OP of the KOR on the right.
Further proves Blue is pretty close...

Anyone that has one can you comment on the AR, blue?
How does it compare to GF AR which is good?

Ha, yeah he called it metallic blue dial... I swear I thought the dial was black! That’s good enough confirmation for me!!!

I know what you mean because the slide rules usually end up looking yellowy.
As far as I'm aware, the crystal doesn't have that yellowy tint to it. In this case, the KOR crystal looks OK. The slide rule is the correct pale silver colour.
The blue AR is is possibly 10% less strong than GF, but it is still effective. I'm fussy too, but I wouldn't say that it bothers me, nor would I be thinking about needing a Prof crystal job...
Edit: you know what, the more I look at GF watches on various QC pics, the more I think that the KOR ar coating is better? It seems less reflective than GF. My Blackbird from GF has an excessive blue reflection that the KOR Navitimer doesn't have...
