Yes! Or at least on the models with only a few hundred meters water resistance.

Also, (and maybe this is so obvious, I shouldn't even mention it), a different bezel on the B01!

Actually, one (unique) thing I forgot to add: When I began looking at luxury watches, one of the things I really wanted was a GMT chronograph. Being a private pilot, I do like to have the 2nd time zone and having worn digital watches almost my entire life I got used to having a stopwatch function. Plus a timer is also useful when flying...especially in cheapo rental aircraft like I do where you are not guaranteed a stopwatch onboard.

I am amazed at the paucity of GMT chronos in Breitling's line. I don't want to have to buy the Navitimer and get a whole E6B flight computer on my wrist just to get these two functions. The UTC bracelet is an OK possibility, but they don't even make that anymore.

My ideal watch as far as functionality right now is the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec GMT:

It has GMT, chronograph, and a quick hour set. If it has a display back, it would be perfect.

So that's what I want, Breitling! A good-looking GMT chrono with quick-set hour and display back.

I'd settle for a DB Navi with an in-house movement i.e. the B01. Not much to ask is it :wink:

My Navi (black dial, white sub. in 3 6 9, and batons), with an in-house movement enabeling quick-set-date, and a see-through-back. The Breitling B as a rotor as mentioned would have been beautiful!
