    Navitimer B04

    Regretted selling my old navi 01 and so it’s nice to be reacquainted to the Navitimer family with this new arrival in from the goat via sc - the B04 gmt

    Although 48Mm i was worried about the size I have to say I’m smitten

    It's a classic design, for sure.

    My taste is for vintage examples, but I accept they're not as practical and I applaud Breitling for not having fiddled with the design too much - It's still recognisably the same family of watches (Aside from some excursions along the way).

    I really like this watch. Was also surprised how wearable it was, given the size. Congrats on the pickup

    great pick up, I miss my navi 01 LE very much aswell. Something to try and replace at some point.

    The AR crystal on the Breitlings is amazing

    Congratulations on the new watch - I kept going back and looking at this one, but the fact it was a GMT and I never go anywhere these days kept putting me off so I sat on my hands.

    I'd love to pick one up at some point, there's only the Navitimer and a Speedmaster Pro left on my personal WIS bucket list

    Does the B04 movement have the quickset hour hand, traveller type GMT functionality like the Rolex and Omega GMT models?

    Looks good, a navitimer is on my wish list although I couldn’t carry the 48mm as well I can see here.

    I used to think that they were too busy for me but they have definitely grown on me

    When I had one, the most use I got from it was doing currency conversions on holiday - very useful.
