Just arrived and I must say that I am extremely extremely impressed with this one. The white Navi World is definitely one of my favorite Breitlings but it was too big for me, when I saw that the Navi 01 LE was being released with a white (silver) dial I said it's a must have for me, my expectations were high, but Breitling delivered. It looks likes the world's little brother but with the B01. It appears to be larger than the black dial Navi01 which is what I was hoping for. It looks killer on the brown Breitling croc. Not much more that I can say other than this is a beaut and as some of you who know, I am NOT easily impressed, ie Top Gun 3880 and many others :(

Nicely done Breitling.

I kinda got too like you, after our poor start......

Now I REALLY dislike you. :lingsrock:

What a beautiful beautiful thing. The watch, dude not you..... 8)

I happily have no money as I'm saving for my wife's 50th...

So I will sit here in awe and dressed in a Kermit green envy suit.

That is a very nice watch. ( see how I cleverly understated my envy?)

Very happy for you Mr S

Looks great. The color seems the same as the World. Is it? Good call going with the brown croco, it seemed from the first pics that the bracelet ate up the dial rather than complimented it.

Thanks guys. Yes this one is the exact same color as the world. The offwhite/cream color seems to an exact match with the world. Exactly exactly exactly what I was hoping for.

Congratulations Sergio, it looks great. Some Navitimer dials look too busy to my eye but not this one. I think keeping the dial all the same color counters that. Really a beauty. Enjoy it and welcome back to the Breitling fold.

Damn thats nice. I had a black one but always longed for a white one, particularly a World. Sadly, it was too big for my wrist as well. This one is nice..really nice.

Very nice Sergio, that's a real stunner. I like the crisp look. I admire silver/cream dials but can't read them anymore. :roll: Glad to see some of the classics that are not mutilated. Congrats!

I knew it! After growing tired of waiting for Breitling to release this beauty, I just pulled the trigger on a black face 01! Oh well. Anyone out there have two of the same watch in different color variants? Seems a bit extreme but we wouldn't be in this forum if we weren't a little "off"

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the answer is yes...

I know the answer. I'm just soliciting reassurance! (and photos, of course)

Congrats on your awesome watch.
Yes I agree. The white dial world appears to be too big. More so than the black dial world.
So for the people who like the world but think its too big, I would suggest trying the black dial. (you will be very happy). :lingsrock:

Wow - just now saw it on a regular monitor rather than an iPhone. Wow!


I'm still a black dial guy when it comes to the Navi range (witness the trade of NOS white dial CM44 for black dial CM44 - old eyes and busy white dials don't mix too well), but that is sweet. :lingsrock:

Guess I need to add the dial color to the Navi 01 LE on my signature.
